I'm not sure I could ever vote for Hillary Clinton... there is a gut level aversion there that is difficult for me to get over.

BUT, and I can't believe I am writing this, I am changed enough in my opinion of her that I can at least consider supporting her for president. I totally agree with Voronwë; she has really impressed me the last 4 years. She is very competent, and that draws my eye like no other attribute.

Wow. Everyone needs to make sure the planet is still on its axis, today.

:shock:



ETA: Voronwë, is there some concern about her health??

This article presents an alternate take on the Romney team's seeming disconnect with polling reality--namely, that they understood perfectly well that victory was a long shot, but couldn't admit to it for fear of alienating donors. And still can't. At the end of the day, playing dumb is a lesser evil than admitting you rosied up the facts in order to dupe the bigshots out of a bit more money.

Not that I know of. It's just that at 69, she would tie Ronald Reagan for the oldest person to become president. Whatever one thinks about Pres. Reagan, it is now a known fact that he was already suffering from the beginning stages of Alzheimer's in his latter years as president. It has to be a consideration.
