Well, ouch. I hate seeing myself as this dumb, unquestioning accepter of stereotypes. But- Stereotypes are one of those inevitable by-products of so many years in the public eye. I have also seen some pretty harsh ones of Bush here. Or maybe when one believes they are true, they don't seem to be stereotypical? I am guessing that for those of us here, whom I credit as being fairly rational thinkers, the stereotypes have enough fact behind them to go either way, depending on your reading of those facts. I do feel Hillary brings a dark side with her. I don't like the return of the CLintons to the WH, and the concept of a co-presidency. I don't like all the baggage of her past. I don't like her very liberal views (which I am overlooking in Obama because I want what he brings). I don't like mandates in any form. But the most compelling reason that I prefer Obama, as I have reiterated ad nauseam, is the promise of hope and newness rather than a continuation of the ugliness and yes, paranoia, of the Bush and CLinton years. And that is the part that Maureen Dowd nailed for me.
