I didn't care for her arrogance -- as soon as she got into the race, she and her people made it known that they wanted no primary, that she should be anointed the nominee, and that anybody else in the race (like Nixon's son-in-law Cox) should get out of the way. Not to mention her husband making Bill Clinton look like a solid citizen. She was a loser from day one.
