  1. Really, "tarnished"? So her wins in New York state mean nothing? She worked very hard to win over NY voters, especially the upstate voters. Everybody tries to maximize the hand they're dealt. Using Bill well (which she hasn't been, recently) would make me think more of her, not less of her. Sorry, this one feels like a cheap shot. I'd be more worried about his unofficial power once she's elected, and again; how she handles him on the campaign would say a lot about how she would handle him once she's in office.
  
  2. Sure, she's a moderate, conventional politician, and that's how business is done these days, which sucks. This is your best point, as far as I'm concerned. I'm no Hillary fan. However, Obama has been taking lobbyist money too, and the stated positions of the two campaigns, from what I've heard, aren't that far apart. Will Obama really fight the system? The only candidate who seemed to be ready to do that was Edwards.
  
  3. Ha! The GOP has been trying to tear down this country and recreate it in their own image for decades now. They've been calling the most moderate of Dems traitors and extremists. Do you think it matters who has more enemies in the GOP? They will unite against the Democrats regardless, as they have over and over again. That's the only unity we have to look forward to. This is the primary reason why I didn't vote for Obama. How do you compromise with a steamroller? You don't. You stop it. You push it back. Or you let it run you over. Those are your two options. I've seen no convincing evidence that Obama will do anything except get rolled over -- where is his leadership in the Senate? -- and it scares the hell out of me.
  
  4. If he's so inspiring, Why not talk up Obama instead of trashing Hillary?
