Someone Gets It

God Bless Hillary Clinton - she gets it!

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton marched for labor and stumped with Democrats on Saturday but sidestepped questions about the woman who has displaced her as the nation's most-talked-about female leader.

Clinton brushed aside questions about Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin during appearances at New York City's annual labor parade and later during a stop on Staten Island.

"This election is about issues, and that's what's going to matter to people at the end of the day," she told reporters who asked her about the Alaska governor at a rally for a Democratic congressional candidate at Wagner College.

Say what you will about the Clintons, you have to give Senator Clinton credit. She understands why the Obama campaign's smears of Sarah Palin are counter-productive and she refuses to participate in them.

This is one reason why the Republican Party breathed a huge sigh of relief when Barack Obama won the Democrats primaries. Senator Clinton is a smart politician....she and the former President did not get where they are being anything less.
