With John Edwards pulling out of the Democratic primaries, Hillary Clinton now has a formidable coalition of Democratic status quo conservatives, Democratic dynastic monarchists and Democrats pseudo-liberals eager to close their eyes to make all the world’s problems go away. She effectively has won the Democratic nomination.
By the way, has Hillary Clinton ever said anything inspiring? I just saw her on TV, asking for the votes of Edwards supporters. Could speeches be any drier? President Bush has a tendency to stumble into poor word choices, but occasionally he comes out with a few gems of simplicity and wisdom. Clinton chooses her words carefully. She focuses all her energy on not saying the wrong thing, or saying the ambiguous thing. There’s nothing inspiring about that.
We could do worse for a president. (Heck, two nights ago, she applauded the success of the Iraq surge.) But could we do any duller?

We could do worse for a president.
True, Josef Stalin himself could be there instead. This is hardly a recommendation. I wouldn't count Obama out just yet, though.

You may have noticed that Bush does not give a real stemwinder either. McCain, on the other hand, can say some very interesting things, which sometimes land him in hot water.
