As Faithful Readers pour into this site in unprecedented numbers, thanks in part to Solon and Harrogate's flaming-sword hellraising on TalkLeft as well as on this Site, and taken in tandem with the erudite and spirited posts by our new Board Members M and megsg-h: And Yea and Verily, perhaps inspired most of all by the vaunted resurgence of Oxymoron--Harrogate has taken a break from actual posts for these past few days.
In the spaces between Fun With Obamamania Part II (Strawberry Shortcake Got What Was Coming To Her) and this Post, veritable spates of pro-Obama Rhetoric (Harrogate almost said propaganda) have filled this Blog, leading to perhaps the misunderstanding that The Rhetorical Situation uniformly endorses Barack Obama, which it most decidedly does not.
Harrogate will continue making his complex, impassioned, and airtight case for Clinton as the primary season wears on. But for now, here is an Open Thread for all readers wishing to discuss reasons why Hillary Clinton would make a terrific President of the United States.
Note: As this should be a bumper crop of a thread, we may have to cut it off after hitting 200 comments.

Harrogate will get the ball rolling.
First of all, every bit as much as Barack Obama, and despite all the disingenuos characterizations of her, Hillary Clinton has displayed a level of decency in public life that would be a welcome change in our White House indeed, given the last eight years of idnecent foreign and domestic policy, and the smooth continuation of said indecency a McCain Administration promises.
An example: Her commitment to universal Health Care is and has been unwavering, despite the ups and downs of weathervane polls and in willful disregard of all the attacks this position has drawn from economic elites.
She is also the only candidate running, to Harrogate's knoweldge, who has consistently spoken of using the Federal Government to make Pre-K universally affordable. This is a concrete policy position that resonates with a lot of working-class parents less interested in being inspired to hope for a better life for their children, and more interested in getting assistance in their efforts to actually Make that better life happen.
Here's my take, though I think Senator Clinton is a much better Senator than she would be President....
I agree with your Pre-K stance but can not comment any further.
