22. The reasons I wouldn't are:
1. A Hillary candidacy would give the right wingnuts far too big a rallying point.

2. She is not forthright enough in her support for the little guy. Someone like Russ Feingold clearly supports the little guy. I'd rather have him or someone like him.

3. I don't think she could win.

4. While it would be tempting to see it as a "two-for-one" presidency--in which we would get the influence of Bill Clinton, as well as Hillary as president--I really think that she is mostly independent of his influence.

That said, if it were a certainty that, as president, she could force through legislation overhauling our health-care system, I might reconsider. Although, at the moment, even my concerns about lack of health-care are overshadowed by my eagerness to end the warmongering.
