8. My feelings towards her have definitely changed in the last couple weeks...
I am a huge pragmatist. I try to gauge the best candidate to win the election because I think winning is job one. Anything else is a waste.

Prior to two weeks ago I had nothing personally against Hillary, but I was backing Obama because I believe he is the most formidable candidate, the likes of which has not been seen in a long time.

I look at candidates on TV and decide based on the entire package who I believe is the most electable, because I feel that there is certainly a large enough block of people who vote on their gut instinct who favor someone they like.

The GOP understands this. Karl Rove looks in the mirror and knows he can never be president.

The GOP fears a charismatic Democrat. Most of our candidates have been anything but. Not only is this candidate charismatic, he is tall, he has cute young children and an attractive wife who was not born a billionaire.

Hillary is not stupid. She knows Obama has the juice. She is putting her personal ambition before the goal of a democratic 44th president. The Supreme Court is too much too risk for Hillary.

I used to have nothing against her. Now I really dislike her.
