>What is there to be AFRAID of? Ideas? Perspectives?

No, we all know about her ideas and perspectives. We are afraid of voters picking the candidate who's name they recognize the most. We are afraid of voters picking the wrong candidate, as they often do. Voters are free to vote as irresponsibly as they want, but if she isn't running, it is one less thing for us to worry about.

>I say let her run, and let her duke it out with the rest of the field. She'll either win or lose based on her arguments.

You and I both know that "arguments" don't win elections. $$$ and ill informed voters have much larger influence on results than "arguments."

>It's unfortunate that , and while I don't assume you feel this way, I do sense an awful lot of generalized 'wimmin hatin' in much of the Hillary bashing I hear, and I can't help but wonder how much that plays into some of these complaints about her potential candidacy. In the 21st Century, too...!

And I sense a lot of Hillary 08 supporters dismiss people who don't support her as being "sexist."

>A more productive use of time, rather than bashing one particular candidate that you don't care for, is to find one you LIKE and support that one. It's never too soon for candidates to start laying groundwork. Volunteer for your preferred choice rather than engage in unproductive bashing exercises.

Voting for a Democrat isn't voting for terrorists. Disliking our president doesn't mean we dislike America. Asking Hillary not to run isn't bashing.
