112. While I'm certainly not a Hillary hater
I must say that the IWR was a big, BIG, deal to me - and seeing her getting rejected as the Presidential nominee for the party in favor of a person that didn't vote incorrectly on IWR does make me smile.

I do like to keep the IWR in some sort of context - there were a lot of good people that showed very, VERY poor judgment regarding the IWR, Hillary was just one of many. But I do think it should absolutely be counted as a massive strike against her when considering who should lead the Democratic Party forward. I think holding her accountable for a mistake as large as the IWR will also serve as a long lasting reminder to some Senators when they cast votes in the future - it lets them know that at least some of us will not forget all of their incompetence.
