Hillary Fans Revved Up By Women Pres. on TV
Kristen Lombardi writes in the Village Voice about the excitement over tonight’s premier on TV, where a woman becomes President, in the new show with Gina Davis called “Commander in Chief.”
The Voice cites a poll that states 39 percent of Dems would be in favor of Hillary being the next democratic nominee for president, and many believe this fictional step will do wonders to pave the way for a real life woman to take over the Oval office.
Former toe-sucker and White House aide Dick Morris is writing a book on the 2008 race called Condi v. Hillary the next Great Presidential Race. Catfight anyone?
In tonight’s show, the President is dying of a brain aneurysm, and his last words are to ask her to resign, to let a man run the show.
Something tells me this ain’t gonna happen.

Just watched this first episode (TiVoed it, so didn’t see it when it was aired), and really liked it. Gina Davis did a great job, especially with the humorous points, where she made the joke that lesser actors couldn’t have carried off.I also liked that they had some significant surprises in the show, blowing off her husband, diplomacy from the barrel of a gun, daughter spills juice on mom before her big speach, etc. Great writing.
