but I was seriously thinking about this today. Personally speaking I think there are 3 prongs to politics nowadays: Economic, defense/military, and social.

Pretty much all Hillary has to point to herself as even remotely liberal or progressive is her social positions. And even those I never get the feeling that she actually has the courage to back up her convictions on those. I think if the tied had still been against gay marriage that she would also be against it in the same way Obama is.

At this point the one and only reason I would hold my nose and vote for her is because she is pro-choice which I feel is pretty much the only issue that she would really stand the test of her convictions when push came to shove.
