And The Race Is On .....

The midterm elections are history now and Democratic presidential wannabes were caught this past weekend officially enrolling in the electoral system, a process better known in certain high places as 'attending a fundraiser.' There they were, all dressed up in their Sunday best doing the down home meet and greet.

Even though in this point in campaign forecast time, it looks like Hillary Clinton may be the big, ole elephant in the room and Bill the fly on her back, American voters still tend to have this thing for conceptualizing how a candidate looks bellying up to the bar, or wearing their favorite team's cap, or simpy sitting in a football stadium.

It just seems wrong then, since women in so many other parts of the world have long been elected heads of state soley on their political merits, that Hillary will have a lot of male oriented posing to make up for in order for her to be taken seriously by middle America ticket punchers, and invited on board the next presidential express.
