I agree with this analysis, especially the part about folks coming to respect Hillary’s toughness.

But I support her for the Democratic nomination simply because I’d rather have her as president than Obama. In other words, I don’t think we should be rooting for the weaker candidate in the fall — but the better. That way, if we lose, the country won’t be as bad off.

The Clintons talk left, but at the end of the day, they’ll do most anything to get and remain in power. Even if it’s the right thing to do, or the conservative thing. Remember triangulation? That was when the GOP got what it wanted and Clinton got the credit. I was like, here, have the credit.

My two cents. YMMV.
