Hillary's Magical Listening Tour, The Final Chapter

Wow, she's running. I had no idea.

More shocks: She talks up the claim she grew up "middle class." (Um, not so much.) And she wants to "talk" more, and "discuss" issues, and wants "the converstation [to] begin."

Leadership: A yenta asking other yentas what she should do.

The "listening" crap is so Oprah. She sort of had to do it in New York, as she'd never lived there, so had to claim she was "listening" to what the people of New York might want. Otherwise voters might get the kooky idea she was just an opportunistic carpetbagger who had engineered Daniel Patrick Monynihan's retirement just to run in an open seat in one of the three states liberal enough to even consider voting for her.

So the "listening tour" made strategic sense there, I guess. She could always rebut the carpetbagger charge by saying, "Hey, I'm listening to the people. And who knows more about the problems of average New Yorkers than average New Yorkers themselves?"

Idiotic, but whatever.

But now she's running the same campaign template again. Does she really need to "listen," at age 90 or whatever she is, to understand the problems of Americans? Is this a concession that she knows as little about Americans as she knew about New York Staters in 2000?
