The Clintons have lost a lot of my respect -- it has to do with the way they campaign...For them, it is ALL about them. Not about the party and improving the country. The only thing that can rejuvenate the demoralized Republican party is Hillary's candidacy. If Hillary wins, I think she could easily lose to almost any GOP candidate. Because the Republicans will come out in full force to vote against her...and I know MANY Independents and frustrated Dems who will NEVER vote for Hillary (especially after they see how she has campaigned). We don't need anymore years of divisiveness. I support Barack Obama, in part, because he stresses the need for this country to put aside the vicious partisanship. And as Dr. King proved, you have to demonstrate you have the moral high ground to affect that kind of change. Hillary and Bill (used to sort of admire them) are damaged goods and EVEN if they win, do you think many Republicans or Independents will give them the benefit of the doubt...? Politics is about coalition building. Not triangulation. And as the Clintons have shown in this recent Race spat, they are still playing the Karl Rove-esque politics of playing one side against the other. Bill and Hillary are just proving what Karl Rove and George W. Bush taught many times: going negative can win primaries and elections. Ends always justify the means for some folks.
