"Hillary obviously has as track record and perhaps the best resume in the world. She is, however, a Clinton, and until she distances herself from her husband's positions on free trade and what not, I find myself struggling to support her. After Obama, I am officially a skeptic. I don't trust any of them."

...you're considering pulling support for someone who has "the best resume in the world." How did you determine that?

She has her own record. She ran in 2008. Why would you need to hear how she feels about President Clinton's record to make a determination?
