10. The right-wing's certain attempts to bring up old scandals, proven and unproved, from Bill Clinton's perjury conviction. to Whitewater to Travelgate to the health care fiasco she presided over.
9. Billary.
8. Her insistence that some states "matter" more than others and that some votes mean more than others.
7. Refusal to disclose donor list for the Clinton Presidential Library and for urging certain papers to be withheld from public scrutiny in the National Archives -- including materials related to allegations that Sen. Clinton's brother improperly influenced the granting of pardons by Bill Clinton.
6. Her Nixonian comment about false statements that Obama is a Muslim, saying "not that I know of" and pandering to anti-Muslim prejudice.
5. Playing the fear card right out of the Karl Rove playbook via her 3 a.m. ad, even though her own husband campaigned by saying "If one candidate is trying to scare you and one is trying to make you think, you should go with the one who makes you think."
4. Misrepresenting her foreign policy experience when numerous sources who were actually there have stated that she did not participate in any meaningful way in foreign policy -- e.g. Kosovo (a one-day trip with Sinbad and Cheryl Crow, a day after the borders were opened for Kosovan refugees), Northern Ireland (meet and greets) and China (she gave a speech).
3. Choosing to endorse the experience of the Republican presidential nominee rather than a fellow Democrat, knowing that this will provide ammunition for the opponents of the Democratic Party.
2. She refuses to release her tax returns. That means we don't know where her money comes from; the source of money she "borrowed" for her struggling campaign; or the possible effect her financial dealing may have should she be elected President.
1. On the one occasion when Clinton indisputably had a chance to affect foreign policy -- the Iraq vote -- she blew it and voted with Bush to authorize military action in Iraq.
