"The truth...

...is that Hillary Clinton is not very interesting. She doesn't lead. She doesn't address real problems that people are facing. She preens and self-righteously moralizes about the flag and how kids are lazy and play violent video games. She passes some reasonable legislation, like the minimum wage increase, and works on good things like net neutrality. But there's nothing particularly interesting, considering that her last name is Clinton."

Matt's right. I'm not opposed to Hillary for any particular reason, I'm just not interested in her in any meaningful way.

Well, there's one exception to that, I suppose. It's kind of interesting that after almost six years in the Senate and the constant glare of the spotlight, she hasn't really established herself as a leader or as particularly authoratative on any notable issue. It's probably for the best that she shies away from health care given her history. She seems vaguely hawkish, but she's nobody's go-to source for defense or foreign policy questions. I'm sure she piles up good ratings with all kinds of liberal interest groups, but that's a natural consequence of being a reliable caucus vote.

Still, she's presented as some kind of Democratic leader. How's she do it? Why does anyone care? I mean, if you don't consider that her last name is Clinton.
