Hillary has the advantages of 1) I'm more likely to know someone on her cabinet / staff than on anyone else's and 2) she's a master politician who can get things done in Washington (which is bad if they're the wrong things). I do not believe she will to reduce gov't. I will have a hard time going to her events if she's running, but I probably will end up going to something, esp if it means I have a chance to talk to her, because it seems like *everyone* knows her-- she's a politician indeed. I'll have to think of one or two hard questions to politely put to her if/when I meet her.

Being able to lobby her, though, is worth less than someone who is already publically saying he will reduce gov't.

well, I guess the Hillary fundraisers will experience some losses :)

Yes!! Do you think a better candidate promising to reduce the size and intrusiveness of gov't will appear? I can't imagine it.

Well, he certainly speaks the right words. I hope if he gets closer to the nomination, that he gets some really good body guards.

Going to vote for him?

"We can't allow this. We can't allow the rule of law to be so trod upon that we live in an arbitrary governmental world where they collect anything they want any time they want."

He spoke like another Rand I know.
