39. I know what you are feeling, I sense it too

The one thing that helps me when I have doubts about her is that I believe her when she says that she's a poor campaigner. I believe her when she says she's much better at the job than she is at the interview. I feel like she's the kind of person who doesn't over-promise. I believe that she's actually too honest - she says what she's thinking at the time and gets into trouble because it might vary from a statement that she's made in the past. She's a somewhat self-conscious introvert and as an introvert myself who sometimes has issues selling my abilities (and may do so awkwardly depending on the audience), I can relate to Hillary. I met her, shook her hand and looked into her eyes - she's actually a genuine person and her daughter is even more awkward socially and she's modest to boot - which I actually find compelling and a sign that Hillary is a good mother. I root for the socially awkward. Reason to vote for somebody? No. But I don't doubt her abilities or drive to do the right thing for this country.
