The question Hillary still left unanswered.

Watching the debate last night, she cast herself as the former co-president ("when WE left, WE left a surplus...) but later insisted that as President, she would be making the decisions. So , if we vote for Hillary, are we getting a re-run of a dual Clinton administration? What was her role those 8 years?

Some people will say a repeat of the Clinton administration would be great, others, not so much. There are some Democrats who sincerely feel that the DLC represents Republican-lite. To give just 1 example; one year after NAFTA went through, illegal immigration from Mexico ballooned and it hasn't slowed down since. It turned out that NAFTA wasn't so great for the average Mexican farmer.

2. "NAFTA wasn't so great" - NAFTA was a disaster on both sides

of the border - a disaster that keeps on giving.

3. She left a lot of questions unanswered,

and I won't vote for anyone who won't answer them.

4. I think the most important question for Democrats is what set of

policies do we want to offer the American people? If Hillary is offering a return to the Clinton years, let her say so forthrightly so we can decide if that's what we want. It seems to me that she is campaigning by promising a return to the CLinton years unless someone raises the question of Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton. Then suddenly she is her own woman!

5. NAFTA & the telecommunications act of 1996

two of the greatest RepubliKlan victories ever.

6. You forgot welfare reform

The third reason why I voted for Nader in 1996.
