Reply #22: Why I support Hillary:

[moriah]

1) I think her ideas are good ones.
2) I think her Senate service has been a real eye-opener to her in how to get those ideas implemented.
3) I think she is strong enough to fight off the RW extremists.
4) Her life has been under a microscope for 15 years and I think all the damaging things have already been dug out and aired, they'll be old news in November -- RW attacks are going to be less meaningful that way.
5) Her "on the job training" by being First Lady does give her insight into what being a President really is, and she wouldn't be the first wife of a politician to take over the job and carry it off -- look at other countries.
6) I believe she is genuine and that was long before the "tears" fiasco.

More superficial reasons:

It'd be cool to have a female president.
I have to admire someone who manages to carpetbag to New York of all places.
I lived in both New York and Arkansas, and while I was in New York her office assisted me and my (now ex) husband when government bureaucracy was about to make him lose his job since they couldn't get paperwork to him in a timely fashion. She personally called me back, not just an aide.
