If Hillary is such a great candidate, why isn't she filling

110. Because she doesn't excite and inspire that way

I had a dream a couple weeks ago that she won, and in it I felt relieved but not excited. At least, not excited the same way I was in 2008 or 2012. And I probably won't be. To be fair, I knew the night I stood in Times Square watching Obama's victory speech in 2012 that it would be a long time before I felt that way again, because politicians like Obama just don't come along that often.

Hillary is a very intelligent, competent, and tenacious leader who shares many though not all of my progressive ideals, and concerns about her hawkishness aside, I think she will do a good job as president. But she just doesn't inspire me or make me feel what is possible, and I think that's how a lot of people feel. There are a lot of things I admire about her and I have no problem supporting her if she is the nominee. If I could afford the hefty cost of admission, I would be happy to have the chance to meet her in person. But I just don't think I would sit through 2 hours of traffic to drive 20 miles and then stand in a 3-4 hour line to hear her speak like I did the night before the 2008 election.
