I really hate to spend a lot of time thinking about Hillary Clinton, but since she's likely to be the Democratic candidate for president, it has to be done. This guy has her pegged, I think. When a politician we think of as candid and forthright suddenly turns nakedly opportunistic, it disappoints us. When Ms. Clinton does it, we just think, oh, well, that's Hillary being Hillary. And it's not even interesting to watch, as it at least was occasionally with Bill:
Lacking her husband's uncanny knack for finessing left and right, however—the famous triangulation strategy—she plays the game awkwardly, like a very earnest Vulcan who has closely studied Earth politics.
