hi clo,

folks said obama didn't have a prayer against hc.

women's issues. sure, but what else? as a woman, representing women is a no-risk proposition.

in every other way, she appears to me to be a status quo stooge. can't think of a single issue for which she is at the forefront. where it involves her taking a risk. at least since healthcare, twenty years ago.

she isn't your average woman candidate seeking to do this on her own. she is bill's wife and she has ridden his coattails. i'd like the first woman president to be one who made her own career in politics, who has some obvious political accomplishments etc. what are hc's?

warren was the force behind consumer protection in the us. that is a big deal. hc has nothing comparable to show for her work. skittling around on an airplane is exhausting but what diplomatic structure did she build? what legislation is associated with her name in the senate? which hard choices did she make?

for me, she is a creature of incumbency. and the us needs so many things to change.

Elizabeth Warren is a terrific senator. She might be a solid governor too.
That said, IMO, she doesn't have a prayer to win the Oval.

In this time of global crisis, voters are NOT going to risk a newbie.
I don't even think she would make a winning running mate.

Maybe a cabinet member, or a Supreme Court Justice.

I think Hillary believes in plenty of things. She's especially strong on the importance of equality for women worldwide. Going back to when she visited China when she was first lady.
Hillary has courage & stamina & has proven she can take a punch or three & keep on ticking.
