Her scorched earth attempts to secure the nomination have significantly damaged her credibility and prestige. Her attempts to claim credit for helping broker peace in Ireland, and her Bosnia sniper fire story are symptomatic of a larger problem–being Bill’s sidekick doesn’t automatically mean she is experienced as a leader in her own right. Hillary has damaged herself beyond redemption and there are a number of better choices including Bill Richardson, Sam Nunn, or Jim Webb.
