1. Mrs. Clinton is not the same as Mr. Clinton
She has left a trail of enemies in her wake for the last 25-30 years. Those things come back to haunt you.

Bill Clinton may have had his good side, but the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has had a disproportionately bad impact on the working class here.

And some of us are not too pleased with the dilemma of having to defend a President who publicly lied to us--even if it was only about a blow job. He embarrassed us, and we don't need that.

The bottom line is that the name Clinton unites the opposition better than any policy position. Some of us believe that we should be able to pick someone who is not so beneficial to the opposition, and someone who is not so divisive to the Democratic base.

That's just one POV. I'm sure you will get more.
