The White Witch Revealed

I haven't been all that keen on Peggy Noonan recently, but I think her article on Hillary! today is spot on. A quote:

What Mrs. Clinton revealed the other night was more than an unfortunate persona. What I think she revealed was that her baseline thinking has perhaps not changed that much since the 1990s, when she was a headband wearing, power suited, leftist-who-hadn't-been-wounded-yet. It seemed to me she made it quite possible to assume you know who she'll be making war on. And this--much more than the latest scandal, the Chinatown funny money and the bundling--could, and I think would, engender real opposition down the road. The big chink in her armor is not stylistic, it is about policy. It is about the great baseline question in all political life: Whose ox is being gored?

Go read the rest. Peggy's thesis is that Hillary! doesn't have the Bubba-like moves to cover up her old-fashioned 60's liberalism and that it's going to catch up with her.

Gives one some hope.
