I don't.

Hillary is a warmonger, fearmonger and DC insider.

Do you really want more of the same ?

Wendy in Texas. Taking her out of there won't do Texas any good.

I think we need to concentrate on 2014 first. It's super important that we gotv.

I think that snatching good Dems out of the states where they are needed most does a disservice to those states.

It's silly to think a state legislator will be on a national ticket.

I would love to see her as the keynote speaker at the DNC in 2016, then run for higher office.

I'll vote for her if she is the nominee but I'd rather not see that happen. As for Wendy Davis, I think she should run for Governor of Texas.

It's not always just functioning as an 'Idol' show to send contestants on to the next level. Dedicated and qualified people are needed at the local level as well as nationally.
