Well, you just have to look a little harder to find his.  Good diary!

I didn't vote because I saw this as a European poll, but just a comment on Clinton.  I think many could be surprised by how she would perform as President.  I see her as being more liberal at heart than in campaign.  She is smart enough to stay away from what would be considered ultra liberal positions in the US in order remain a viable contender.  One could say that she has tempered her liberal outlook with a dose of reality.

That said, I don't know who I will vote for.

... because part of the Clinton philosophy of government was that they were always campaigning, and I haven't seen any big sign that she has broken away from that. So if she figures she has to campaign to the right of "where her heart is", then she's likely to govern there as well.

And after all, her big frame is, "I'm in it to win".

Mybe so, but this may be the only way to govern effectively.  Compromise when necessary but keep plugging away.  Again, not sure who I will vote for.
