My problem is this: Bush, Clinton, Bush... do we need a whole generation of people to never know any president other than a Bush or Clinton? It starts to look more like a monarchy or dynasty than a democracy. Also, the people who dislike Clinton really HATE her. I don't think it's useful to have a president who is the center of such polarization. Whether Democrat or Republican, I want to see a President who is respected, whether you agree with them on all issues or not. The people who really hate Hilary will criticize and bicker about everything she does, just because of who she is. I truly hope that the next President will be someone who can make us more purple and less Red vs. Blue.

Can I get an AMEN?? I'm one of the ones that HATES her, and I'm a tried and true Democrat (even though I lean toward fiscal conservatism). And if she's the Dem candidate in the general, I will simply vote against her, as long as it's McCain that's the other candidate. If it's anybody else, then I may just not vote in protest.
