Jim,
While I appreciate that Bill Clinton succeeded where other Democrats haven't, I appreciate more my responsibility as a citizen to speak my mind and vote my conscience. I have respect for a number of things the Clintons accomplished, but that doesn't mean I'll pretend like there aren't a lot of things about them that I can't accept in the White House. I don't like being told that my state is unimportant because it is a caucus state, that as a student I don't have the experience or financial responsibilities to make an informed decision (and probably won't vote in November anyway...), and I hate that her campaign called me a 'latte-sipping elitist'. That is such a gross generalization. Maybe I could afford a habit like coffee if politicians paid more attention to the needs of college students and the unreal price of an education these days. The Clintons frustrate me, and have said and done more in the last ten years to insult me and those like me than they have done to help me or earn my respect.
