On a forum I subscribe to, someone had posted an entry about why Hillary Clinton would be worthy of the vote.

Being a Republicrat, I don’t vote for the party, but for the best qualified person. In years past, there have been elections where I didn’t have faith in any of the candidates, so I didn’t vote - wasn’t willing to cast a vote for one to ensure the loss of another.

While it is definitely time for a change, I’ll reserve final judgment on whom I feel will be the best candidate to lead this crumbling country until we’re in the final stretch - when all punches are pulled and the mudslinging begins. The better candidate will be the one to rise above the mudslinging and hold steadfast to their original platform(s). That, in my eyes, will distinguish the candidates between being just another “Politician” or a “True Leader.”

P.S. As much as I’d love to see Billy Bob as the “First Sir” (opposite of First Lady) - I won’t base my vote on the entertainment value of the spouse of a candidate. Besides, have you seen recent pics of Lewinsky? We don’t need her sniffing around the White House again.

[Update: do the Bloomberg presidential rumblings have any substance? If so, the middle road may be where it's at.]
