I for one am more than a little
uncomfortable with the notion that somehow Hillary Clinton is entitled
to be president. I do agree with those who point out her good qualities,
and also that she is qualified, although from a policy perspective in
particular I do not support her in the primary process. She is just not
liberal enough for me; she remains, unsurprisingly, a Clinton Democrat
in many ways. And for a dyed in the wool liberal Democrat like me,
that is NOT a good thing. (Which said, I would and will vote for her,
of course, if she is nominated). Mainly, I do not believe that political
dynasties are good for the country, and as far as I'm concerned the
fact that she is the wife of an ex-president, while not disqualifying,
is a cause for heightened scrutiny of her campaign, because it amounts
to an unfair advantage.
I am hoping someone like Sherrod Brown
(although preferably someone who is not a senator) will emerge to
challenge her from the Democratic wing of the Democratic party.
