I'm glad it worked out well for you.

Hillary, at the AFL-CIO forum...

"...for 15 years I have stood up against the right wing machine, and I have come out stronger. So if you want a winner who knows how to take them on, I'm your girl."

Perhaps you've been invigorated by the struggle, Senator, and good on ya, but those 15 years were a pretty complete disaster for the rest of us. While you were doing battle, we lost the Congress, lost the White House and are on the brink of losing the Constitution.

But you won a Senate seat and you're "stronger."

Isn't that No, that isn't special.

Triangulation in pursuit of a shifting center has been a total failure for America. The turnaround started in '06 and it was progressive and populist and you didn't have a damn thing to do with it.

But you're stronger.

Hurrah.
