Reply #82: I don't dislike HRC, but [View All]

I was never especially a supporter of hers either.

I dislike the fact that it seems to be a foregone conclusion to a lot of people that Hillary already has the Democratic nomination sewn up. I don't see that she's done anything to qualify her as the presumptive nominee for the Democrats a full year and a half before the 2008 convention. The entire Hillary juggernaut seems to be driven by both the Republicans and the media without taking much account of what the American people themselves want.

Like many others at DU, I'm also uneasy about the dynastic implications of Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton.

Finally, there's just something off-putting to me about Hillary Clinton. I will vote for her if she's the Democratic candidate but it will be without enthusiasm. I get the feeling that she believes she's already got the nomination in the bag simply by announcing that she's running, and that all the rest of the race is just for show.

There are other Democratic candidates (and potential ones) who have much more appeal to me.
