But beyond that, what do we really know about her?

I guess we can argue about what constitutes leadership, and that’s an argument worth having.

Mayor, Governor, mother, intelligent, honest, etc as compared to communist Chicago street thug.

“Mayor, Governor, mother, intelligent, honest, etc as compared to communist Chicago street thug.”

That’s not really the argument I was thinking of. I expected it to be more like her lack of qualifications in terms of world affairs vs the view that no modern leader can really be an expert in every single thing. Instead you pick someone who’s views appear to match your own, and then trust their judgement to pick the correct advisors, or listen to the correct views.

And I’m “generally” all right with the later.

But you listing of her qualifications gives me pause...

Mayor, Governor... Ok.

Intelligent? I don’t know her IQ, and you probably don’t either. Has she released her transcripts? And if you say “well you can jsut tell by the way she talks, etc.”, that’s no better than how people evaluated Obama.

Honest? How would we know. That’s really just a subjective assessment.

Mother? That’s no more a qualifcation for the presidency than “wise Latina woman” is qualification for the supreme court.
