yes, the problem with hillary has nowt to do with experience, or expectation (her belief that america owes her the presidency for not rocking the boat during bill's felate-gate boo-boos), or even competence.
hillary's problem is there aren't many people, bless them, who want a termagant in power.
there's a moment in "great expectations" where joe gargery explains to pip his sister's cruel nature. "your sister is given to government," he says. that is, the bossing about and hectoring of others (made worse by a flaunting tone of self-righteousness). that's essentially hillary.
simply regarded as a human being, hillary is a lousy specimen. that's an awful handicap in an election.
while the upside of an obama candidacy is the chance to finally leave behind the squalor and the squabbles of the 60s. something i'm sure we're all sick of. the culture wars are over anyway. look around. the left won. there's no culture left to speak of. instead we have the "turner prize".

I agree!
Although I did have to look up termagant and hectoring...
nobody likes a bully. especially a pious one.
there's no harm in making the occasional deposit in your vocabulary piggy bank. you never know when they're going to come in handy.
