I agree that's good advice, but I don't think she takes advice well. She appears to view any criticism, no matter how legitimate, as an unfair personal attack. I remain a big fan of hers who hopes she'll see the light soon.
But you have to see the irony in advising her against using 'bumper sticker platitudes.' Remind me how O got elected again?
Great article. And written in a way that if her handlers actually let her see it, she just might start realizing that she needs new handlers, like Mr Goldberg.
and with all this discussion, we have one less Republican incumbent Governor who will be running for President in 2012. She may still run, but as of the end of July, it appears, she will no longer be an incumbent governor. (See http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0709/24507.html )
My question for the CW readership is this: is the CW, himself, some sort of political angel of death who descends on potential presidential candidates who are successful and popular incumbent governors by writing positive blog posts about them?
Until we can bring some real science to debunk what I hope is only a coincidence, CW, whatever you do, PLEASE do not write anything more about Jindal or Pawlenty.
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

Very true.
All she needs to do is accentuate why she would make a good president. Everything else is just noise.
