What many in the media have been calling "petty squabbling" or "divisiveness" or "dirty politics" between the Obama and Clinton campaigns (which fulminated in full view during the South Carolina debate), I view as not only necessary, but fundamentally helpful in this vetting process that is the primary season. Attacks, even if personal, are part of political campaigning. It's nothing new. And the way a candidate is able to respond and how that candidate responds to such attacks are helpful for voters to be able to decide whether or not he/she is strong enough to hold the most powerful position in the world.
Hillary has shown toughness, resilience, intelligence, vulnerability, wit, and astuteness during the most intense parts of the debates time and time again. And when attacked by Obama during the S.C. debate--which I think was a mistake on his part--Hillary unleashed her rhetorical and intellectual strength. She is not a pushover, and she is not going to hold back. She will be a strong commander-in-chief, one who will be respected/feared by even the most Machiavellian leaders around the world who are America's worst enemies.
The unfairly dubbed "Do-Nothing Congress" would listen to Hillary when she is president. She will be able to push her liberal agenda through because she can squash any opposition, which is why I believe that the Republicans/Conservatives want Obama to win the nomination. Hillary will be tough to beat and Hillary will win--and the prospect of another Clinton presidency is their worst nightmare, but it's America's only hope for economic prosperity, homeland security, and true progress.
