Well, considering that our system causes such a large amount of people to go without health insurance (30-40 million) it seems wise to borrow some ideas in that area.

Other than this issue I'm not sure where Mrs. Clinton stands. All I know is it would be a great slap in the dubya face to have a Clinton in office again and she certainly couldn't do any worse.

I will, however, be voting for a 3rd party most likely, or anyone who represents Instant Runoff Voting.
She can't do any worse, but not improving is not acceptable to me. She'd be as harmful to this country as Bush has been. If she winds up being the Democratic Nominee, I predict voting Republican. If she's the nominee I definately could not vote third party, because they have no real chance of winning and for me priority number one is keeping her out of office. I would sooner vote 'W' to a third term.
You have just defined why America so desperately needs Instant Runoff Voting! People vote against canidates rather than for one.

It will be interesting to see where Mrs. Clinton stands on other issues. I don't think she has any true republican competition if she decides to win and I think she could take it.
I am also a big fan of IRV, and I think it is the best alternative system I have been made aware of. I am hopeful that the Republicans will be able to muster a strong candidate, and I am also hopeful that the American people will not be dumb enough or foolish enough to let her get into office, of course the American people severely let me down in the last 4 presidential elections so...
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.
