As anyone who reads this blog knows, I have a major problem with Hillary. However, I don't think I've ever explained my reasons. They start with a Constitutional issue that has been bugging me. I think all of the following are safe assumptions:
1. If she hadn't married Bill and became first lady, she never becomes a New York Senator. Just imagine, Hillary Rodham Arkansas lawyer moving to New York to challenge Democratic Congresswoman Nita Lowey for the nomination. She would've been lucky to hit 10%.
2. If she doesn't become a Senator from New York, her credentials for President are slightly better than Laura Bush.
3. As first lady, she had zero security clearance. As a result, that 3 A.M. phone call ad tried to remind people that Bill's her husband.
4. In fact, the most qualified person in a Clinton White House would be the first gentleman.
Conclusion: I can't help but think that people are trying to essentially elect Bill to a de facto 3rd term which would be an end run around the 22nd amendment.
I also think this is insulting to other female politicians who have earned their spot due to reasons other than marriage (Kathleen Sebelius, Janet Napolitano, Debbie Stabenow, Olympia Snowe, etc).
