19. It is not enough to be against the Bush administration
as we have seen too well just recently.

She will have to build a strong platform saying what she is standing for, not just against.

And, being a woman and a Jew and a relative unknown outside of California - she is going to face many hidden hurdles.

And, as with Kerry, the pugs will have reams of archive videos of her at the Senate floor to pick and choose and to "flip flop" etc.

This is why the common wisdom is that a successful candidate is the one coming from executive position - a governor or a CEO or a general. Any archive videos will be of signing executive orders, laws, agreements, etc.

(Interesting that on the West Wing, both candidates are coming from Congress)
