KT,

>She has one big asset: The first time in decades and the last time the country had peace, prosperity, a balanced budget, a strong dollar, civil rights and economic innovation was when her husband was President.<

I remember that period. That was when Wall ST, Al.com, and the IMF were busy raping and pillaging the world with easy money, bubbles, lies, deceptions etc.... It guess it felt good if you didn't understand it, but I hated that period too, just for different reasons. ;-)

I don't think someone like me will find anyone very appealing. I admire the goals of some of the contenders, but I'm convinced that government can't accomplish them because there's too much of a vested interest to overpromise and never eliminate things that are obviously not working. I also think that "X" percent of the people in this country are fairly disgusting and will simply use government to transfer wealth and power to themselves at the expense of the common good. I guess that makes me a libertarian. Despite the huge social holes some of my preferences would leave, I have more faith in the "Y" percentage of people in this country that are decent and that would find another way to fill those holes.
