There had been a time when I had no problem with her especially when she tried to promote the national health care bill. A bill she should have stuck to her guns. I saw her in person back in 1993 at Westlake Center in Seattle when throngs of Righties (Where in the Hell did they come from and where were the the throngs of liberals? It's Seattle for God sakes!) booed her off the stage. I felt sorry for her. I was and still am in favor of Universal Health Care. It was a good idea. I think the turning point was when she became a Senator. I still cannot forgive her for using bad judgement with the decision to send troops to Iraq. I also cannot help what I see as a slight leaning to the right in regards to the flag burning issue and on Iraq. This is not the sign of good leadership. She should have the guts to do what John Kerry did and admit she made a mistake on Iraq.

I honestly think if she gets the nomination for the Democrats then you might as well forget about the election. The GOP spinsters will be go beyond swift boating. You would hand the White House over to the Republicans. She is the Neocon's favorite target.

There is no question she is intelligent but leadership material? No!
