(660 posts)Clinton is the one who will be out there speaking every day, measuring every word and how each word might affect her chances of victory in November. She should choose the platform that she believes is most likely to lead to success. She is the one who will be forced to defend all of these proposals so she should determine what proposals should be emphasized. She seems to know what she is doing.
If there are people who believe it crucial that everyone else hear every detail about what is important to them, then they should write a book or a letter to the editor. But, they shouldn't try to hobble a presidential campaign with their personal wish list. If there is a victory in November, we can then see what is doable given the makeup of the Congress. First, win because if we don't win, your personal wish list might just as well be flushed down the toilet.
