Actually, your conclusion may not be that far off. I read this in the New Republic a while back. It comes to roughly the same conclusion for slightly different reasons. Your analysis on the issues has always been spot on in the past and I can't find any fault in your logic. I'd be willing to bet you're right on this one too.

Nope. In the end she simply translates to a “She’ll vote left” vote. She’s not going to be brazen enough to break party lines. She’ll justify her position after she’s taken it rather then use judgment to arrive at a position. She’ll be an uneventful flop, and she’ll actually detract from the credibility of any case involving race that she votes on. I don’t agree with her positions or like her, but she’s a horrible choice in the long run for the political left. In the end, Obama’s not going to nominate anyone I like more, so why not just accept that she’s what we’re getting?

This is probably one of the strangest and farthest afield of all the conclusions I’ve come to about a political candidate – definitely the strangest I’ve ever put into writing and published for the whole world to see. I’m not even sure what to make of it myself. Am I onto something here or am I just completely bonkers?
