...gripes about how his advisers have channeled (for lack of a better word) him. Your "stick to the script" vs "rock star" comparison...I can't say I can either agree or disagree with that. Maybe there's some other side of Clinton which should have been on display. Or, giving the maximum benefit of the doubt, a side which more accurately (and positively) reflected who she was, as a person and a politician.

I didn't see that better side. Correction: I saw that better side way early on in the process, but then an overwhelming level of hubris kicked in which I think turned a lot of people off.

If she does run in 2016, I'll be interested to see what strategy she uses and what value, in her words, she brings to the game in 2016 that (in her opinion) makes her a better candidate than the other Dems in the race.
