Hillary Clinton Balls Another Strike

++The Washington Post has short piece on whether Hillary Clinton is the candidate of Big ideas.

++The Washington Monthly guest editor Nancy Letourneau writes this morning of the several position papers Hillary has delivered so far.

++The list is impressive ranging from Immigration Reform, Judicial Reform, Climate Change, Women's Rights to Voters' Rights. 

++You can say these are done for political advantage but she has hit some of the highlights of the challenges America is facing in the 21st Century--not the 19th Century.

++This morning the full force of the Republican Party reacted too her speech on voters' rights. Every major candidate complained about her charges that Republicans want to suppress the vote, which they do.

++What advantage does this give Hillary Clinton? Like Barack Obama,if you control the language and your adversary is always responding to you, you win. So far, not one Republican candidate has been able to light the fuse on any major issue facing the problem.

++What these Clinton position papers do is lay out the specific issues on which she will campaign. Progressives are waiting for her economic paper. But if the past weeks are an indication, she will surprise even her Wall Street Backers. Maybe that's why on Friday,Wall Street moguls urged their colleagues to get behind Bloomberg, rather than Jeb or Hillary.

++The media will continue to complain that Hillary doesn't talk to the press the way Bernie does. As her campaign progresses, I hope then she turns into a media star. But in the meantime,she is just grinding it out before the big push.
