Yes I am because frankly she comes off as the opposite of Bill, cold and firm on the exterior, but as her autobiographies read, far more genuine.

But as every normal election since FDR goes, the cool-headed candidate will be seen as elitist/insincere and thus lose to the fiery one.

Only 1964,1972, and 2008 have ever contradicted the hate-dom Americans have for the introverted and collected.

It doesn't even matter if the difference and almost non-existent (think Carter vs Ford, or 2012), the less energetic the candidate is, the more against them.

And 2008 proved Clinton was nearly as wooden as Romney, she had everyone on her side...and then she started to implode slowly after Obama took Iowa in an upset. Her campaign went  into panic mode and  she still couldn't get the same passion.

So the path of least resistance to victory is if the GOP nominates someone somehow even more introverted than her, that or 2016 ends up being 2008 part deux.

Until then, I see her as liable to going the way of Al Gore, killed by "inevitability" and perceived pretentiousness. Heck Bernie Sanders and O'Malley may as well be the next Bill Bradley.
