in compiling these names.

Maybe, as with some here who support Elizabeth Warren but don't want her to run for the Presidency because 'she is doing so much good in the Senate', some of these individuals also see Hillary doing more and better things NOT being President?

Other Democrats oppose Hillary, get put on a list ranked as to the degree of enmity.
Big Dog was not enough to get her through the primaries last time.

The emotions you feel when you believe you are betrayed by someone you think or thought was on your side are remarkably unpleasant and the psychological after effects are often permanent.

I'm just pointing out all the feigned outrage of the right about "oooh, Hillary has an enemies list" on FOX and WND and the other right wing rags. The left I don't care one way or the other. Either they'll vote for her or not...I just hope we don't end up screwing ourselves like in 2010 with all their bellyaching.
