I think she's already stepped up. And talk about tough? She's been throwing the shit thrown at her by the motherfucking Republicans right back in their faces. But I get the sense that in 8 or more years she still wont be good enough. I can't believe her smiles are a problem. You are really scraping the bottom of the barrel on that one.

Curious though. How old must one be to be considered an adult by you? I'm up there in my 60s and I think she's more than adult enough.
