If you look at polls, Hillary Clinton is considered the toughest in a field of men. That`s no small victory for her going towards a general election.

The irony is that what was supposed to be a great vulnerability of Hillary Clinton , which the Iraq war vote which she has acknowledged was a terrible mistake, has lent an aura of strength in a funny way.

I have never understood why the politicians who are most eager to send soldiers into harm's way are always depicted as their most ardent friends.

Not surprisingly, some of the super-rich declined to join the Patriotic Millionaires when the Agenda Project reached out to them. At least two airily dismissed the Bush tax cuts for millionaires and above - which will cost well over $700 billion over the coming decade - as small potatoes.

Conservatives truly love America and support the armed forces, while liberals are unpatriotic draft dodgers.
