So now Hilary is in. And she’s leading in the polls. I’m interested to see what she says. I’ve always liked Hilary, mainly enjoyed watching her talk – watching the way her mind works is fascinating – and now I’m interested in what actual ideas she’s going to come up with to straddle the hawks vs. doves divide.
I think it’s fitting, and wonderful, that this is the first presidential election with a major candidate who is a woman, and at the same time the first one with a serious contender who is black. Despite their differences, there will be a lot that Barack and Hilary will agree about, and even more than that, a lot that they will share in terms of editorial style and world view.
My question for Hilary will address the the transcendent issue of our times, peace. Can we recast the United States at this dire juncture to stand for more than consumption and killing? What is the vision for America? Tell us Hilary, what do you see?
