Is Hillary Clinton a conservative's best friend amid the Democratic field?
Now that Jim Gilmore has entered the race, it's reasonable to review what the Presidential candidates say in their economic platforms. Senator Clinton opposes Medicare reform and Social Security reform, which are major strikes against her. Any candidate who isn't telling the truth about Medicare right now ought to be ejected from the race instantly. Chuck Hagel would be a vastly better President than anyone else currently in the race. It's just temporary blindness on the part of Bush partisans that they don't see that Hagel is the optimal pro-growth, small-government candidate.
