Reagan I might add like Hillary also lost a close primary. Anyhow, I just want someone new and honestly I really don’t know if Hillary’s the one I want leading the party going forward. I think she’s too cautious. One may say the same about Obama himself but I think he’s proven more ambitious on key issues than Hillary has during time in office.

Sure, I’d love to see someone else too. But there may not be a “someone else” on the Dem side this go round. Obama was a political force of nature. It’s very unlikely that another one of those will appear from nowhere with the presidential election just two years away.

At this point, it’s not about electing the next FDR (that’s probably not even possible any longer in a nation so huge and polarized). It’s just about keeping the WH…out of GOP hands.
