Hillary Clinton Leads 2016 Democratic Pack, Would Beat Chris Christie Head to Head (47-41%)

[Rowdyboy]

49. Actually, I agree with quite a bit of your post. I'm one of those Democratic voters who began 2008

backing Hillary. What pushed me to Obama was her supporter Geraldine Ferraro's thinly veiled racism early in the campaign. And, yes, the Kennedy endorsement also influenced my decision. And there were many aspects of the Clinton presidency that left me cold (though at least he understood the necessity of fighting back against Republican bullying). Where you lose me is when you call Clinton and by extension all New York Democrats "warmonger". On that point we're just gonna disagree. Is she a proponent of a strong, activist foreign policy? Absolutely. Does her vote on the Iraqi War Resolution make her a "warmonger"? Not in my book. It was not a good move, it was not even a smart move but it of itself doesn't label her a "warmonger" IMHO.

And I think she was brilliant as Secretary of State and would make an exceptional president should she choose to run. As always I'll make my personal decision on who to support after all the candidates have announced but she certainly starts out at the top of my list.
