One of the things I feel like I have to compensate for when writing about the Democratic primary is an instinctual reaction to the Hillary Clinton campaign. It is best summarized by this comment over at Balloon Juice:

I just can’t fathom having a Bush or Clinton in office for possibly 28 years straight. Is that supposed to happen in a democracy?

I don’t have a problem with her being a woman, or the fact that Republicans will attack her mercilessly, possibly blowing more than the $40-60 million they spent investigating Bill Clinton over the course of an 8 year run. I can’t control Fox News as much as I’d like to. I do have an issue with the de facto aristocracy we’re creating (don’t forget about Jeb Bush in 4-8 years), though. All other policy considerations aside, it would be nice to get some new blood into the White House.
