I totally disagree with your choice. I also think you are missing the forest for the trees.
1.) Hillary Clinton voted for the war, without reading the NIE. Her judgement was to try to protect her right political flank at the cost of American Lives and dollars. This is not the stuff that Presidents are made of. It takes the Iraq War off of the table for contrasting our Democratic candidate against the War Mongering Republican Candidate.
2.) Your logic of choosing Hillary over Barack is also flawed when you make a decision to support her based on fear of what the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy would "do" to Barack. Fear is a faulty way to come to a decision, plus it will be 2004 Kerry/Edwards redux for the attacks that will come that say "She was for the war before she was against it". Barack Obama is the only one that will have any credibility with the American public, as well as the wider foreign policy goals of repair of America's moral standing with other countries. Why? He is the only one that has been consistantly against the war from BEFORE it started.
3.) The DLC. During Clinton's Presidency in the 90's we lost the house and the Senate. Why? Because the DLC triangulated and dilluted all of their candidates in the minds of the American Public because as a party, we lost our identity in the 90's due to the "third way" policies of the DLC.
3.) Healthcare Reform. She already blew it on that one, and because of her mistakes we most certainly lost at least 10 years of healthcare reform. How many people have gone bankrupt in those 10 plus years because of a broken healthcare system?
4.) Corporate influence. She is funded by more Corporations and lobbyists than all of the other candidates combined....
5.) Bill Clinton. Need I say more? He is the biggest threat to a Democratic White House. Hillary and Bill will rally the base of the GOP to get out and vote, even though that don't have a serious Candidate.
There are MANY more reasons I could list. The MAIN reason though is her Iraq War vote. That immediately disqualify's her in my book.
I could list many more reasons, but I am too tired to actually type them all into this post.
