At least for me, Hillary would have a lot of credability restoring to do before I found her a believable leftist candidate. Now, truthfully, I'm not at all up on her NY record. But during her husbands presidency I had great hopes for child welfare in America. She was a great friend of marrion Wright Eddleman, and had been a childs rights advocate.

I know she wasn't president, and I know her husband didn't go very far out of his way to take her seriously post healthcare, but the state of child welfare went downhill during the Clinton years. Bill pandered a lot of times when he could have used his amazing rehetorical skills to make a case. She would need to prove herself less married to power than he was before I could like her.
