Who else are they going to talk about.<br /><br />I'm not convinced she will run. If she runs I expect she will get some serious push back from the leftish side of the party. (This isn't all wishful thinking. The fact that Biden won't back down is significant, imo.) Eliz. Warren won't run (yet) but I wouldn't discount Amy Klobochar, Sherrod Brown, Our Friend Martin, Kristen Gillibrand, and various others a generation younger.

Are you thinking she won't run, that she will run and won't do as well as expected in the primaries, etc, I'm genuinely curious. <br /><br />I'm more interested in the meme of inevitability than convinced of the inevitability itself. I do assume the nomination is hers to lose or choose not to pursue, also lazily assuming Eliz Warren will be apprised of the succession plan if and when necessary. And I confess, I always forget about Joe Biden and *his* POTUS daydreams.<br /><br />"Attention sluttery" was lovingly stolen from Landru. I leave it up to him to fix the inaccuracies.BDRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557941385560728052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-81176898074353206022014-02-27T20:43:54.686-05:002014-02-27T20:43:54.686-05:00What Landru said about poetry.

It will never, ever, ever be over, whether or not they change the name.<br /><br />I'm sorry you couldn't gin up enough voting interest for Garrett Park.<br /><br />Every discussion we've ever had about my disdain for poetry? That. Right there. You're soaking in it. You, and all poets? I'd tell you to go fuck yourselves, but you're already masturbating. Although for my part, I will concede that my eyes were inescapably drawn to the words "barbecue sauce."<br /><br />That was poetry, by the way.Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-6765035109269706012014-02-27T10:04:54.034-05:002014-02-27T10:04:54.034-05:001) speaking of getting two pints of jelly, here in...1) speaking of getting two pints of jelly, here in upper gaithersburg at the height of the real estate bubble a local realtor started distributing apple butter door to door with his picture on the lid - he has continued this custom in the years intervening - the apple butter is made by mccutchens in historic frederick<br /><br />2) recent interaction with my most beltway-centric acquaintance (civil servant married to lobbyist) indicated to me that his hillarian inevitability quotient is quite high, but his obamaphilia has faded away (to the point of explicitly wishing it had been hillary in 2008)<br /><br />3) next time i'm in berlin md i may stay at http://www.atlantichotel.com/mistah charley, ph.d.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06303695341246058680noreply@blogger.com
