Yawn.
I am not a big Hillary fan. Yeah, she is a successful Senator from the State of New York, but she isn’t Presidential material. And frankly, I am not much into political dynasties. If she runs and wins, there will have been a Clinton or a Bush working in the White House all the way back to 1980.
America needs some fresh blood.
The Right Wing hates her. And from what I have been reading in the blogosphere this past weekend, there is not a lot of joy of Hillary in the netroots either. But that is the key element that makes her a losing candidate – the Right’s hate of Hillary outweighs the Left’s love for her. That is a GOTV strategy that is very bad for us. As we showed in 2006, GOTV is a must for the Left and if we can’t get enthused about Hillary, then that speaks volumes.
And here is my pet peeve on Hillary. Anyone, especially someone elected to a Federal office, who thought the war in Iraq was a good idea up until about six months ago, doesn’t have the sound judgment I require from a President. Hillary’s war hawk stubbornness is what really killed her candidacy for me.
