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.


Ditto. Well said. If folks want to post an equally biting rebuttal or defense of Hillary or someone slamming Obama for his limited resume, feel free.

We aren't going to start barring NYT op-eds from regular columnists. That's the political flow out there that we all peruse every day.

I do feel Hillary brings a dark side with her.

I think it's important to understand, as I believe you do, that referencing the dark side is not necessarily bashing Hillary. I think her fans stick up for her because they think that recognizing her high negatives is blaming her for them. Whether she deserves the animosity she engenders or not, it's there and it isn't going to go away. And that affects her presidency. I think that, whether or you have negative feelings toward her, you have to recognize that the negative feelings of others are a factor to consider when voting.
