Where No Man Has Gone Before.....

I was wrong about Hillary.

I said a few months back that she should get out of the race because she seemed to have a “sense of entitlement” to the office.

Truth be told, I’m not entirely sure that she, in fact, doesn’t have said sense.

But, at this point, I’ve decided that it’s beside the point.

The point, kids, is that whatever else she does or does not represent, stand for, believe in or offer as a candidate, woman and/or human being, she has come to symbolize one of the more noble qualities that we all like to think we instill in our children as they find their way in life.

Believing in themselves.
Even, and especially, when no one else does.

And, it’s not like she doesn’t have a following, for heaven’s sake.

Literally millions of people prefer her to Obama.
And the latest polls say that she has a massive lead over Barack in the forthcoming West Virginia primary.

Which means that no matter how much the Democratic Party, let alone Obama supporters, want this thing settled, the “jury is still out” on who is going to be the party nominee.

The “experts” are all saying that the “math” simply doesn’t allow for the possibility that Clinton can pull it out of her hat.

Or pantsuit.

Tell you what, though.

For my money, that right there is reason enough for her to stay in.

Because, while I cant speak for you, I have a suspicion that you, like me, are tired of being told what we think by “experts” and are tired of being “victimized” by a political system that is designed to benefit almost everything and everyone except those it was supposedly designed to benefit in the first place.

Us.

So, feel free to disagree with anything and everything that she has to say about any and every issue that matters to you.

That’s your right.

But, at the same time, give credit where it’s due and hold her up to your kids as a living example of that quality that you’re hoping to ingrain in them.

Believe in yourself.
Even, and especially, when others don’t.

Because, at the end of the day, the only voice you can really trust and believe is the voice you hear inside your own head and heart.

And that’s the voice you have to ultimately listen to.

And don’t think for a second that it doesn’t take a lot of courage to stick it out when others suggest, hell, insist that you walk away.

Love her, hate her, it’s your call.

But respect the fact that she isn’t quitting.

Because she is listening to her own voice.

Well, her own and Tim Allen’s.

Never give up.

Never surrender.
