I keep thinking about the movie "Election"
The Reese Witherspoon character is Hillary Clinton. Wants power and will stop at nothing to get it.

When the Matthew Broderick character is counting the election ballots, he sees her celebrating in the hallway and decides she must be stopped. So he throws two ballots away and swings the election to the other guy.

Was this right? Of course not. But I can understand why he did it. It's that feeling that is going to work against Hillary Clinton, no matter what she does.

Throw in the general dislike in some quarters for Bill, and there's some real trouble for the Clintons.

4. Hillary Clinton IS Tracy Flick
No soul. Blind ambition. Marginal talent.
