I don't know about a fantasy...
But...@Unknown,<br />I don't know about a fantasy...<br /><br />But, a boy can dream, can't he? (Even an old boy?)<br /><br />In any case, good point. <br />I don't now what happened to me there. Must have had a momentary second of weakness, and some very rare optimism snuck through my well-reinforced Slavic pessimism shields.

Edelman was sitting in the congregation at Foundry Church in DC recently when the Clintons paid a visit to help us celebrate our bicentennial (The Clintons were active members of the church while they were in the White House). Hillary gave a shout-out to Edelman from the pulpit.Bigfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08283396270821355978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-29140707062573734502015-12-28T12:57:16.386-05:002015-12-28T12:57:16.386-05:00A lot of Sanderistas see her as having been "...A lot of Sanderistas see her as having been "pushed" to the left by Sanders (and if so, so what?), but as you point out she has some deep roots there already. I think Clinton, like any decent politician, will go as far as she thinks the political climate will allow--and the climate right now allows for a much more progressive agenda than she thought possible (rightly or wrongly) in the 1990s or early 2000s.Tom Hiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17575511424823512042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-3557963191963661882015-12-28T12:55:20.202-05:002015-12-28T12:55:20.202-05:00Ah, yes... the "dry powder" fantasy.

They're only <i>pretending</i> to have centrist views to sucker those fools in the flyover states into voting for them.
