Reply #17: Really interesting perspective.

I totally agree with your comment about presidential dynasties. That would seriously bother me even if I liked HRC.

I was really glad to hear you say this: the fact was that he was like telling them to "pick Hillary and you'll see more of me."

I've picked that up, too, and wondered if it was just me being overcritical of the Clintons - glad to hear you feel the same way. I supported Bill all through his travails, and I agreed with HRC that he was the victim of a vast right wing conspiracy/witchhunt. But the fact is, he gave them plenty of ammo, and his behavior was, ummm, let's say irresponsible, knowing that the Newties were gunning for him. He's done nothing but sink in my esteem since he left the white house. I loathe his triangulating, republican-enabling behavior, and his relationship with Bush senior fills me with nausea.

I also don't see what HRC has accomplished on her own that qualifies her for the white house. And she doesn't inspire me. Does she actually inspire anyone? I see her, frankly, as the heir to that odious concept, the "electable candidate." Hated it in 2004, hate it now. Can't we get the BEST QUALIFIED?
