Dana Milbank has an great column in the Washington Post on Hillary Clinton bringing "the sensibility of Hallmark greeting cards to the 2008 presidential race". It's a brief summary of some of the most trite statements Clinton has made in her recent political career. And that, I think, is part of the problem with modern American politics -- most candidates (not just Hillary) seem to think the voting public is, on average, two years old and capable understanding only the simplest and shortest sound bites. What ever happened to the era of candidates capable of delivering truly great oratory?
