Have A Chat With Hillary Tonight

Tonight is the first of three online chats hosted by the Clinton campaign in the beginning of her Presidential candidacy. Starting at 7pm E.S.T/4pm P.S.T., those who register at her website can ask the Senator anything they want, within reason. She'll be answering selected questions on a live webcast.

So ask away people, see what she says about the war, impeaching a President guilty of high crimes and misdeameanors, an economy that is by the rich and for the rich, how she will fix the health care system (since she used the issue for a photo-op already) and anything else that comes to mind.

One question I would pose the Senator is something I saw on the frontpage of DailyKos today.

Devilstower posted a quote from Thomas Jefferson and the LA Times take on it:

...Thomas Jefferson warned against the formation of an "unnatural" aristocracy of men who inherited great fortunes and political office. Both of these warnings have been overlooked in the debate over Hillary Rodham Clinton's 2008 presidential run. But if she secures the Democratic nomination, wins and serves two terms, by 2017 the United States will have been governed by either a Bush or a Clinton for 28 years.


Now thats a nice piece of food for thought!

  1. Can you outline for your readers, and me, the basic process in which Primaries work because Hillary isn't guaranteed to win Iowa and New Hampshire and others. I read a bit on Wikipedia but maybe this will help us understand the process more, as you've been involved in it longer and more closely.

    Thanks.

  2. Not the point of the post

    However, you can find out plenty about the primaries with a simple google search. I haven't decided to post anything about how primaries work. I'm simply commenting on the events surrounding the election cycle among other things.

    To touch on your question, primaries decide who the nominee will be. Each candidate must manuever to win the key states and secure the nomination. Right now things are in a formative state with candidates jumping in and telling everyone why they should vote for 'me.'

    Stay tuned for more in the process of electing our next President.
