Hmmm, “Himself a former presidential candidate, who was first to chose a woman as his runningmate said “Hillary has the strength and experience to do it, to change the course that America is on.” Didn’t Mondale lose the election, in part, due to his choice of female VP?

This endorsement is the Kiss of Death from Fritz.
Mondale got pummelled by the Nuclear Cowboy in ’84.
Put this nod in the back of the closet with George McGovern’s endorsemnent–another loser who was crushed in national election for his extreme Leftwing views.

Hillary and Barack would be the best for America. I think that women leadership unlike men don’t study war and poverty. Nations thatare lead by women are warmer by nature than those lead by men regardless of race. I am leaning toward Hillary. At least she tried to bring about health care. But the men went to war. Obama would lift the image of America greatly. He would probably have a hardtime with the conservative segment of the population. America bless God for His grace.

Now she just needs the John Kerry endorsement to complete her support by unelectable past nominees who see in her a kindred spirit.
