Sadly, over the years, she has lost my trust. She fully supported the war in Iraq (along with most other Democrats, to be fair), which greatly disappointed me. I had hoped she would be a prophetic voice against the war.

However, I disagree with her anti progressive actions on several issues, most notably the war. I am an Edwards supporter at heart (give the Corporations HELL and support the working class).
