It doesn't matter how warm she is in person if she can't persuade people to warm to her during a campaign, and if she - notoriously - picks the wrong people to run it.

And it's only 'just an attack' if you miss the overwhelming evidence of her inability to connect with ordinary voters, to act graciously, and to create a feeling of inclusiveness - and also to pick good people to run her campaign.

These are all clear evidence that managing people - i.e. managing relationships, managing expectations, and building effective teams of supporters - is not her strong suit.

Well, those charges are coming from her opposition, and that's why I tend to dismiss them. I do think she'd be a great candidate for President. I'm just responding because of the constant attempts to make her seem like a vampire.

We simply disagree. If she wasn't a good "manager" she wouldn't have gotten so much done in the Senate.

If she was a good manager she'd have run a successful campaign. How can you blow through $100 million and be losing 'safe' states with 20%, 30%, or 50% margins?

The 'Republican attacks' idea is nonsense, because there really haven't been any serious attacks on her.

In fact she's attacked Obama far more aggressively than the Rs have attacked her.

No serious attacks on her?

She's been attacked more than any candidate in history.

This has been going on for years.

I'm really surprised you said that.

She's losing to Obama. That doesn't make her a bad manager. Under that logic, there is only one good manager every year. Last two times around, Geroge Bush was the best manager in the US.
