17. Little known fact: She works very, very hard for the working guy
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 10:23 AM by neutron
Her endorsement from the Nurses Association wasn't puffery.
She put in serious time and effort on their behalf.

18. She stomped her 2 debate opponents in NH and NV
and was given not a shred of credit for this by the media.

4. I would not ne really un-happy to vote for her

7. I am an Obama support but
if people don't stop the bashing and the media frenzy doesn't stop then she will get the sympathy vote. The poor me factor will emerge.

8. Hillary has the deepest, most detailed understanding of policy
Her 'scary bright' intelligence and hard working determination have not wavered under even the challenging of onslaughts against her. She has never flinched on GLBT rights, the canary in the coal mine of liberalism. In different circumstances she would be a walk in president.

I think it's something of a tragedy that having been under attack so long. so hard, so often, always challenged to prove herself, always under the microscope for a misstep, she has had to build a hard shell, and surround herself with hard people, some of whom have done her no favors.

9. I'm positive that an HRC Presidency will mark the 3rd DLC heavily staffed Executive Branch
that will continue to divide this country and drive our beloved Democratic Party into a ditch. :shrug:

I'm POSITIVE of the above!!! ;) :yoiks:

15. The only positive I can share about Clinton
is that she didn't hire an "ex-gay" bigot clown to host her campaign event in South Carolina.

16. When my 6-year old niece asks me if she can be the President someday
I point to Hillary Clinton. She's not the President yet, of course, but she will be. And a lot of little girls in this nation are going to know without a doubt that they can truly be ANYTHING they want to be.

100% behind you, Senator Clinton. :yourock:
And to hell with the haters. :D

19. She's extremely intelligent and motivated
Which is a hell of a lot more than what we can say about the current occupant of the White House. She's also battle-tested from 8 years of smears from the right. She married well, and compliments her husband well--I do think there is a very genuine, if somewhat unconventional, love between the two of them.

Unfortunately, she's a bit of a politician as opposed to a true stateswoman. But hey, that's 90-95% of people in Washington for you.

I voted for Edwards today in the FL primary, but Hill's okay in my books. If she's the nominee, I'll be behind her 100%.

22. If the Republican smear machine could destroy her, it would have done so a decade ago.
I'm an Obama supporter, but I do think there's something to all the talk of her being more-vetted than the other candidates. Anything the GOP brings up in the general election will likely be old news. I mean, what're they gonna talk about? Whitewater? Puh-lease! We've heard it all before.

With Obama, there might be pseudo-scandals (and, yes, this Rezko crap is exactly the same as Whitewater -- a meaningless, bullshit association played up to destroy a good candidate), but the difference is that the pseudo-scandals are new to most voters, many of whom are sick and tired of the Clinton "scandals" and will just roll their eyes when they hear "Whitewater" or "travelgate."

Of course, that's a two-way street. Many voters are already turned off due to the aforementioned 1990s smearings. It's a question of whether voters won't care about old news, or whether they've already decided 10 years ago not to vote for Clinton. I'm not sure which characterization is more accurate, but regardless of that, the fact remains that with Clinton, we've already seen the skeletons in the closet. With Obama, we're assuming the closet is relatively skeleton-free.
