But I see her more as a legislator than an executive.

I'm not looking for detailed plans. I'm looking for a natural leader who has the gift of rallying supporters, enthusing the public, energizing support for policies, even getting some moderate Republicans on board with some policies. That is a force of personality kind of person. Not someone who goes behind closed doors with pen and paper and works out detailed plans.

I just don't see her in that leadership role. I don't see the majority of the public seeing her that way, either.

She would make a hekkuva V.P., though. And if it became necessary for her to step into the Presidency, at least the V.P. would be competent.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
