The famed Mayo Clinic offers up some signs and symptoms for narcissistic personality disorder.
I'd like you to look over the list of telltale indications of this mental problem and decide for yourself if it applies to any of the presidential candidates male or female.
Now, I'm no doctor, but I think it does apply to one in particular. Because I don't want to prejudice your diagnosis, I will not say which one. Here goes:
"Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem, it's not the same," the clinic continues.

Fantasizing about power, success and attractiveness
Expecting constant praise and admiration
Believing that you're special

Suggesting you read the DSM is not being snotty. When you're wrong, admit it. You do not know the diagnostic criteria for Borderline PD and your ignorance on this particular issue persisted in your replies, despite being corrected.

Hillary has Narcissitic Personality Disorder
Clinton should get a circle over his score on Believing that You’re Special. He birdied that hole.
Just one? You’ve got to be kidding.
Oh, you didn't?
How DARE you not list my man Dennis Kucinich?
Romney = Compulsive Flip Flopper ...
Tell me three issues he hasn’t flip flopped on!
I forgot he was running.
Yeah, don’t you have to be pretty puffed up about yourself to think you ought to be prez? These guys are all conceited beyond their abilities.
LOL!
Excellent, potlatch!
She was my first choice, too.
Looking at those pics, she really should have had some work done before the campaign.
Not that it would have helped much...;o)
John McCain is certifiable, no doubt about it.
Thanks DC! You notice I had to get that ‘spade’ into the picture too, yesterday it was the ‘fairy tales’!
I meant to mention the spade, but was distracted by those pics. lol
The spade is a very nice touch. ;o)
LOL! It turns out that even though he doesn't want to, Michigan won't let him stop. I'm starting a "Draft Kucinich" movement on FR.
"Kucinich for President - why settle for a candidate who's only half crazy?"
