The reason I chose Obama over her was gestalt versus technocrat approach to the big issues facing us.

She is super diligent and I am crazy about her, but back in 08, he was better prepared for the big picture than she IMO. I felt his brilliance could be supplemented in the details and give us the moral uplift we so needed then.

Whatever struggles he has had from the opposition would have been the same for her - and perhaps even more vitriolic, if that can be imagined.
