Latin for the Candidates
The book "Amo, Amas, Amat and More" is full of Latin phrases and translations. Some have direct application to the Democratic candidates. Two of my favorites, for your consideration.
Might Hillary return to Chappaqua declaring, "Vulneratus non victus" -- "Wounded but not conquered"?
And for BHO, how about this sentence from the Odes of Horace:
Integer vitae scelerisque purus non eget mauris iaculis neque areu. -- An upright man, free of guilt, needs no weapon to defend himself.
That could be meant ironically, as we peruse the connections with Rezko, et. al. but I will let the gods decide that matter.

I don't put much stock in the wisdom of Romans like Horace, whose oratory skills proved no match for people who said:
"Habeo Catapultem. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam."
(I have a catapult. Give me all the money or I will fling a humungous rock at your head.)
