Schoolyard Political Analysis: "Ick" and "Cooties"

tsk...tsk...AS ought to leave the schoolyard and write some insights on Hillary.

Readers complaining about liberal emotionalism have gotten space on AS's blog with his admonition that such is limited to the only those in the worst of the liberal tradition.

But, as the political campaign goes on, how long is it appropriate to wait for AS to rationalize his "feelings" about Hillary? Even if he has to say he doesn't like her hairstyles, at least that would be a foundation; but as it is, his feelings remain open to the worst possible re-characterizations, yes?

As for Nora Ephron's view, what about the counter-view that Geffen might well have been served just to say that he supports Obama and why, and just have wished Hillary "all the luck in the world, but she just isn't my candidate this time around?"

I don't think Hillary is the greatest political campaigner, but she can think on her feet, and that may be all she needs to get past Romney and/or McCain (but not Guiliani). As for the vision-thing, there are times when I think she has just enough, but no more. Maybe, I'd really rather a wonk in the office, than a POTUS who likes the golf course; and that seems to be Hilliary's style. What's more, I might rather have a Washington insider, at this time, than more of the go-for-the-Govenor approach.
