A brief foray into politics
Charles Krauthammer lists some of the reasons why Hillary Clinton may not be so bad after all.
I could never vote for her, but I (and others of my ideological ilk) could live with her -- precisely because she is so liberated from principle. Her liberalism, like her husband's -- flexible, disciplined, calculated, triangulated -- always leaves open the possibility that she would do the right thing for the blessedly wrong (i.e., self-interested, ambition-serving, politically expedient) reason.
Clinton is likewise definitely not my first choice. But I suspect she would be a better candidate than the others. If forced to choose between her, Edwards, and Obama as best candidate to stand up to an Iranian psycho with nukes, she seems to stand the best chance of inadvertently doing the right thing.
