...project and some of the initial opposition to the idea, was genuinely thought-provoking. Her main theme was that leadership often involves taking on a project when everyone else believes that you're wrong, and she used the White House Project as an example of such an endeavor. Fundraising efforts for the project were somewhat hindered by the nature of the program--one which rises above both political parties and the money which flows from those parties. The candidates on the ballot are split fairly evenly among liberals and conservatives, and the clear focus of the project's effort...
...flawed. Cooperation in the pursuit of a common goal is wonderful and rare, but when that common goal involves political office, I find it difficult, if not impossible, to separate activism from principled party politics. I asked Wilson during the question period how she could reconcile a non-partisan effort to elect a woman to the most partisan of offices.

...They are coming for Clinton on Wen Ho Lee, on FALN and Waco, on throwing money down the Russian sinkhole. Clinton, of course, has been through it all before, from Foster and Travelgate to Whitewater and you-know-what, invoking executive privilege all the while. Even when the effort was doomed, when Monica hardly qualified as national security, Clinton used the privilege successfully to stall for time. Time is short now; if the Republicans have recovered their appetite for scandal, they?re unlikely to nail the White House?s elusive current occupant. And there's another thing to think about...
