The Patriot Post® · This Is a Qualification?

Ken Blackwell: “Hillary Clinton launched her latest ‘listening tour’ with a new book. It was supposed to be a non-campaign rollout. But it turned out not so promisingly. … Her first stumble was in announcing to Diane Sawyer that she and Bill had left the White House in 2001 ‘dead broke.’ … [And] she now vigorously maintains she was wrong on Iraq and wrong on marriage. And this is a qualification? Would-be challengers to ‘Hillary the Inevitable’ can only be inspired by her troubled launch of her book tour. Long-time observers already recall the stumbling debut of Sen. Ted Kennedy in 1979. Every poll that year showed Kennedy would blow away the beleaguered Jimmy Carter.
