Hillary Has a Big One

Imagine Hillary ihn the KING's role of MacBeth! The similarities are amazing. Coming to the throne, well almost, from a flawed origin. Having every confidence of her role, only to be misled by her own imperfections and the advent of young moor named Obama.

Is Obama also in the Bard's quiver? I don't think so unless one rewrites Hamlet so that the Prince ends up as the living King.

In the meantime, Hillary has proven one thing. She IS a fascinating personna in her own right. Her character in the play of life rivals Nixon and easily passes the personna of Lear or Richard III. Where will she go next.?

I have a predicition. HRC is not going t do any of the things folks say. She will not be the new Majority leader nor will she be the new Tessy. If I may mix gender terms, HRC is headed for the same status that Nixon achieved despite his shame faced fall.

As of now, other than Obama, Ms. Clinton is the single most authoritative elder statesman in the US and maybe the world. When she speaks, Obama will listen. Her aggressive candidacy, in my opinion, failed because it met a brilliant new form of campaign masterminded by Obama and Axelrod. BUT, the bad taste is no worse than that following Humphrey after his fall form liberal grace and a lot less than the usual demo disdain for candidates who do not make it.

What will she do with all this clout? There is the rub. WE do not know .. or at least I do not know, what she believes in.
