4. Read the SOP for this group. You're on thin ice.

I suggest you just delete your post, back away, and cease with the "Just sayin..." nonsense.

What's "unattractive" is the sexist bullshit you are shovelling.

To me, the most attractive thing about any human being is their BRAIN, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a stupid, ugly moron...or should I say "moran."

5. Such poise & dignity and a wealth of knowledge & all around great person.

Will be a shame if she does not run for President.

6. Assuming she stays healthy and vigorous (and she's got good genes --

her father lived to 82 and her mother to 92) I think that will happen.

The Ready For Hillary PAC has done a lot of work and raised a bundle, as have other independent efforts. I'm pretty sure if HRC had no intention of running, she'd tell her friends, who are in charge of these efforts, to stop and give their support to someone else.

I also think, if she does decide to run, that Joe Biden will step aside. There is an historic imperative at play, here--and let's face facts, the first female US President has to be BETTER than any male. She will be judged more harshly, she will have to work twice as hard to get half the credit, and she will be scruitinized MERCILESSLY. And constantly.

It's going to take someone with the hide of rhinoceros and the savvy to deflect a constant stream of carping bullshit to be "The First." She is an ideal candidate in that she doesn't have to learn the job, and her husband won't have to learn his, either (he may chomp at the bit, somewhat, but I'm betting he can be put to some VERY good use, as well--talk about a two-fer!).
