39. I don't think she's a good speaker.

At least, I've never been impressed with her. Not in 2007 and not now.

There are currently 44 Democratic senators and 18 Democratic governors and that's not even including the number of former senators and governors. I'm sure many of them have much better records than Hillary when it comes to progressive issues and have displayed far superior judgment to her on issues that really matter, like the IWR.

So all this stuff about her being our best candidate or the only candidate who can win is simply nonsense. The only thing she has going for her is that, for some asinine reason, practically everyone in the Democratic party is completely unwilling to challenge her. I guess she is the best candidate if she's going to be the only damn one. It's appalling to see.
