Clinton & Rubio Enter the Race | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: These candidates show what Faith Dane demonstrated with her bugle in Gypsey - everybody's got a gimmick.  To be cynical, with two Cubans in the race it is hard to see Rubio and Cruz not splitting that vote in Florida - or winning any points with the Mexican and Central American communities given their stance on immigration.  One wonders if the Republican world is looking for a second position Latino.  If so, I don't think the Latino vote will fall for either of them - especially when you legitimately as Marco Who?



Hillary did speak of a vast right wing conspiracy - and then it showed itself in a link between the Paul Jones legal team and Ken Starr.  This little cabal and those funding them now takes the form of the Tea Party - after being the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (how Orwellian is that title?).  They don't like Hillary going back to her days in the Nixon impeachment, when she was already dating Bill - back when people were actually going after John Kerry because he came back and opposed the war publicly.  Before all of that we had the John Birch Society, who seemingly thought there was a Communist behind every tree - and whose sugar daddy was Mr, Koch, Sr.  When FoxNews stops taking press releases from the RNC as actual news, I will stop belieiving in a vast right wing conspiracy.



One of the right wing conspiracy rumors is about sex, namely that Mrs. Clinton goes both ways.  While it seems to be true for Mrs. Roosevelt, it has no traction with Hillary - and even if true this would show society has changed some of its double standards.  Machieavelian?  Maybe - you kind of have to be when a vast right wing conspiracy is gunning for you.  Still, there is some truth to the rumors that she is a bit harder than she looks.  Funny how THAT would not come up if she were a man - and her time at state was no less remarkable than Papa Bush's time as director of the CIA (experience which seemingly helped him in the Iran-Contra affair - something he was never investigated for).  And for every chant of Benghazi, the counter chant is bin Laden.



One of the reasons that the campaign against Obama in those quarters never got beyond the racist dities about Barck the Magic Negro is that everone thought Hillary would win the nomination and they werer ready for her.  Oops.  As for the nomination this time, the main lesson Hillary needs to have learned is that you must contest caucus states - because they will go to whomever courts them.



This announcement has pretty much sealed the deal.  O'Malley of Baltimore probably won't get any money unless he suddenly gets pro-life religion and Jill Biden is likely going to Delaware on weekends to look at retirement options for the Vice President - although he might just surprise people in a race without, or even with, Hillary.  The main point is that no one on the right wing has any kind of economic justice on their radars.  None - well, except for justice for those who earned or otherwise got their money.  The rest of us are ready for Hillary.
