With today’s announcement, Hillary Clinton enters the race for President. I am creating a category for all past, and future posts about Hillary, called simply Hillary.

I also announce my formal opposition to this run. No, not for the reasons you might think.

Hillary Clinton ran for the Senate from New York in 2006 and won a six year term. As a taxpayer and voter in New York, I believe I have the right to expect that she will serve out that term or resign if she chooses to pursue another office. Otherwise, for the next 18 months or more, she’ll be devoting an inordinate amount of time to this campaign and not to the people who elected her Senator.

First and foremost, an elected offical should serve the people who elelcted him or her. As we saw in 2004 and 2006, campaigning for another office prevents that from happening. I shall seek Hillary’s public committment to resign from the Senate to campaign for President.
