Hillary Clinton should be aware that there are a great many democratic and independent voters who do not buy into the myth that her campaign is trying to spin in regard to the inevitability of her presidency. The nomination may be, but many of us learned bitter lessons voting for John Kerry and other unpalatable candidates that were put forward as the best of the bunch and, because of our social values, our votes were assumed only to watch those sub-standard candidates fail. I for one will not cast another such vote and will happy cross lines if the candidate is a centrist with the right social values. I am a 41-year-old woman, socially liberal and have never cast a republican vote in my life but I am turned off by the careful, smug, rehearsed politicking that the Clinton camp offers. Even with history on the line, I will vote my conscience this time. So Hillary, if I may call you Hillary, please try a bit harder and speak a bit more clearly. I want to know who you are and what you believe and understand why, after all these years, I don't know that already.
