Good article here (from Newsweek) on the Clinton campaign, hinting at one of the reasons for my own apprehension about her. This is that I really, honestly wonder about the psychological aspects of her experiences surrounding her husband’s impeachment.
Not to put too fine a point on it, I worry that they've made her not just tough, which is good, but hard, which isn't. And I worry, not about whether she will answer the phone at three AM, but about what her first instincts will be in a crisis.
And about whether she can do the job for other reasons. Yes, a lot of the reasons Ms. Clinton became divisive is because she ran into the wall of the Old Men's Club--but she is divisive. And I worry about the affect that would have on her effectiveness, as president.
On a lighter note, I've read one of her books, and I've read one of Obama's; it's no contest: His is excellent, hers puts you to sleep.
And yes, as always, the Iraq thing continues to bug me.
