he just used to have a lot more subtlety to his act than Hillary. He'd give discoursive answers to questions so you could see how he thought (and demonstrate his intellect at the same time). He'd also pull the sax out every now and then or go to a college football or basketball game and talk sports trivia to let us know he had cultivated a life for himself outside of the political game. Even if he is just as driven and Machiavellian as she is, he presented a multi-dimensional persona and gave us more to hang onto than she ever did.

America's a weird place; we want killers in positions of power, but it's unattractive to want the job too much. It's definitely harder for women to pull this balancing act off than it is for men, but that doesn't forgive her for being unprincipled in the extreme.
