“We’ve never had a mother who ever ran or was elected president…”
That was Hillary Clinton speaking earlier this week, when she appeared on the television show The View. Don’t think for a minute that she was just making an interesting historical observation. No, Hillary doesn’t work that way. She never says or does anything that hasn’t been perfectly scripted and endlessly polled beforehand. She had a message, a new strategy to try out. So look for the new “Mom Strategy” to be the anchor of her presidential run.
Forget Soccer Moms and Security Moms; now it’s going to be all Moms all the time — with Hillary as the biggest Mom of all.
The “Mom Strategy” is key to presenting the latest iteration of Hillary. She needs to move out of the center space that she populated in her last reincarnation as a moderate. That’s over. Because democratic primary voters are squarely at odds with her positions on the war in Iraq, she needs to move on. The “Mom Strategy” gives her a credible way to tack to the left on the war. She’s already begun. Last week, she told an NPR audience that she would have voted against the war if only she had known then what she knows now. Woulda, shoulda, coulda.
In furtherance of the new Mom strategy, she has re-released her best-selling book It Takes A Village. This time, she is pictured surrounded by adoring, well-groomed and respectful children on the cover. Just like Mom. This is no coincidence; it’s an element of the strategy. The subliminal message: I’m a Mom and I’m running for president. Moms take care of people, they’re compassionate and don’t want wars. The fact that the book isn’t selling well in its re-release

I wish this woman would go away.
She's boring.
Is this going to launch us into the whole "gay parents" issue again?
The Mother of All Leftists.
I thought she said she wanted to be the first MILF president?
How fraudulent.
Mommy Dearest.
Nagging her way to the presidency.
One child?
What she did with Chelsea was hardly earth-moving. What a goofy approach!
It's hard to tell who I find more revolting--Hillary or Morris.
Hilly is so full of **** her breath stinks. Too bad so many nitwits will suck this into their pea brains as if she is sincere. Danger, Will Robinson. Warning, Warning.
Well she is a "Mother". ( I left off a few letters )
Big Momma is watching you.
That's wrong. She can't even get that fact straight. The media should be all over her for that. Carol Moseley Braun ran for President in 2004 and is a parent.
Shed still be better than Obama, that guy is far more liberal than he lets on, I think we'd be crying for Hillary if he got elected..
Ew. They're both nasty, imho.
Man thats a good point, if the MSM were fair there would be a major race angle played on the story as well....
They are both pretty horrible choices, and it really sucks for me because he now owns Chicago, no mayor will be elected in at least the next 20 years without his endorsement, my father and I had an interesting conversation about why New York will elect Republican mayors,albeit moderates but Chicago will not so much as even look at Republicans, I choose to blame the Machine which brutally oppressed all opposition...
