...our next statesman.

I could vote for Hillary Clinton for president. But she'd be my second choice. And why is that? Well, I think it's, in part, because Hillary has become too much like a man. A regular politician. Rather than a woman. I think Hillary's opponent for the Democratic nomination, Barrack Obama, is kinder and gentler. Less the politician. More like what I think Hillary used to be. Yes, kind and gentle. Hillary seems to have decided that to succeed in politics, she has to be more like her husband, Bill. I have doubts that Hillary is being her own woman. She wants to be more like a man. Maybe her idol, Bill. The fact that she's stuck with Bill all these years. That's significant. It may be out of loyalty. But it also may be because Bill is her path to power. She has a vision of what it takes to succeed, politically. She knows how to play the game. And that scares me a little bit. She can be mean. Sparing no meanness to trample her opponents. She wants to be known and recognized for being rough and tough. Showing that she can play hardball politics as good as any man. Meanwhile, Barrack Obama reminds me of -- well, a little bit of what Hillary used to be like before deciding she wanted to become a man. Before she became cynical deep down and underneath. Barrack Obama is more of an idealist. Maybe a bit of a romantic. Capable of dreaming. Willing to play fair. And hey, for someone pursuing a political career, that's wonderful. Could be he might be our next statesman. And we haven't had one of those in the White House for a long, long time. --Jim Broede
