If Hillary wasn't a Clinton, her bid for the White House would have gone the way of those of her colleagues like Joe Biden's.
Instead, due entirely to her access to the most powerful members of her party and their prominent financial patrons, she has mounted a campaign completely out of proportion to any popular mandate for it. In that regard, her campaign is identical to that of George W. Bush's.
Another way her campaign is like Bush's is that both have been willing to resort to any despicable tactic to defeat their primary foes. In the 90's, I cherished Clinton's Presidency, and I defended Hillary. But with this campaign, she has proven true one of the frequent insinuations about the Clintons, that they'd do anything to hold onto power.
Hillary has been an unremarkable Democratic Senator, one wrong on the most critical issue she faced, and I can't wait to see her lose.
