Now am I crazy, or is there something inherently wrong with Hillary Clinton calling herself “HillRod” on national TV? I know she’s trying to seem hip and cool for the young wrestling fans who watch Monday Night Raw, but there’s something about calling herself “HillRod” that seems neither hip nor cool.
And on the eve of the Pennsylvania primary – a primary Hillary Clinton desperately needs to win by a convincing margin if she’s going to avoid hearing calls for her to drop out of the race – I find it telling that yet another Clinton Administration official has Barack Obama. This time it’s former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich:
My avoidance of offering a formal endorsement until now has also been affected by the pull of old friendships and my reluctance as a teacher and commentator to be openly partisan. But my conscience won’t let me be silent any longer.
I believe that Barack Obama should be elected President of the United States.
Now sure, Reich’s endorsement might not carry the weight of someone like New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, but it’s significant that another former member of Bill Clinton’s cabinet has chosen Senator Obama over Senator Clinton. After all, these are some of the people who should know Hillary Clinton best, and they should be solidly on her side. The fact that these same folks who know Clinton from behind the scenes of her husband’s administration are endorsing the other guy speaks volumes about what they think of Hillary Clinton as a leader and potential president.
