Jim Geraghty has been on National Review Online’s Blog Row ever since he started The Kerry Spot for the 2004 presidential race. After the campaign was over, it became “TKS.” Now Geraghty’s blog is entering its third iteration as The Hillary Spot. At The Hillary Spot, you will find, according to Jim, “obsessive-compulsive” coverage of Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign to secure the Democratic nomination for the presidency. Yes, you would be right if you pointed out that Jim must be a conservative since he’s blogging at NRO and you would be on target, too, if you further noted that Clinton is certainly not a conservative and then asked “so how can this Geraghty fellow expect to be taken seriously as a political observer of a Democratic campaign.” And you would gain double, triple, triple points for further inquiring about the eventuality of Clinton failing to win the nomination. “What’s he gonna call it then, the ‘Hillary Lost It Spot?'” Well, let me tell you about Mr. Jim Geraghty. First, he really means it when he says he follows these things like a fiend. Nothing escapes the guy. If you want to know what’s going on inside, outside and all around the Hillary Clinton campaign, I have no doubt The Hillary Spot will be a must-read. Second, I’ve worked with Geraghty because he’s a member of The Examiner Blog Board of Contributors. When he says he can’t stand to get something wrong, believe me, I know he means it. Have you ever seen a grown man cry over an incorrect date? Me, niether, but if you asked which author I know who would most likely be the one to shed such tears, this guy would be among the first to come to mind. I’m being hyperbolic, of course, but it’s to make a solid point – Jim Geraghty gets stuff right. So put The Hillary Spot on your favorites list. Personally, I think he’s focusing on the near-certain winner of the Democratic nomination and that the Obama campaign is simply meant to freeze other opposition to the New York senator, with the promise of the vice presidential nomination. And does anybody seriously think the GOP that just blew a 12-year reign as the majority party on Capitol Hill is going to be able to defeat an historic Hillary-Obama ticket?
