Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

In Iowa, Clinton Intensifies Attacks

With Race Close, Obama Stresses His Electability

PERRY, Iowa (Washington Post) -
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), her status as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in jeopardy, stepped up attacks on her closest rival with fewer than six weeks until the first nominating contest.

Just weeks ago, Clinton chastised her opponents for "mudslinging." But she unapologetically pursued her main challenger, Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.), over the weekend, standing by her decision to mock Obama's foreign policy experience and attacking his health-care plan -- part of what her advisers described as a new phase of her campaign that will present voters with a "real choice."

Vox Day thinks that Hillary could be derailed when she gets dragged, possibly kicking and screaming, out of the closet. I don't know that I agree, but you can bet you won't hear Obama take that tactic.

Did you see the picture of Hillary's aide? I'm surprised Bill would let Hillary get away with having a girlfriend looking like that.
