Here's how I feel.

Hillary Clinton has been, either directly or obliquely, involved in a significant number of messy affairs. To be honest, that doesn't bother me as any leader whom I respect has been involved in a myriad of things that may have been ugly sausage making. In many ways that's what leadership is and a career spanning to the early 1970s is going to possess its share, especially when the light is shined on a couple and not merely an individual. It's only the enhanced scrutiny and media bombardment that, at times, makes Hillary seem unique in this fashion and nothing more. If folks don't want to vote for her, that's fine, but I'd not get off the bus due to pseudo scandal. Find something real, like a better Democratic candidate. (I do not believe there is one.)

Is that necessarily knocking Bernie? No. I like the guy. I like some of his ideas. I do not discredit his followers -- well, those who think -- nor am I immune to the true passion and fervor he exudes regarding a personal philosophy. The problem for this voter is that not enough of Senator Sanders's philosophy is MY philosophy. He should have caught me in 1992. Today, I anticipate voting for the more pragmatic wife of the guy who did.
