She had too much ambition to shake up the status quo. I am not mad at that because I think holder her to a higher standard is a double standard in many ways, even though I realize she was in a PRIME position to advance progressive positions in the judicial system of an enormous, largely liberal state. The problem is she is trying to have it both ways. She isn't just a regular center-of-left, merit-emphasizing candidate, she wants to be seen as progressive and as a champion of the people. She is kind of raising the bar for herself and how people react will set a course for her campaign. Overall I kind of like her, even though there were a lot of things she did that I didn't agree with. She is tough, shrewd and has experience in some big positions in government. I wouldn't be mad at all to see her win the nomination.
