5. She is a very intelligent woman. She doesn't have a shitload of phony, rah-rah "personality."

That Senate campaign taught her a few things.

I think she'll make a good governor. If she gets the nod, and it looks like she will, I'll work hard to get her into the corner office. Nothing wrong with a governor who prioritizes rule of law; perhaps some of the screw-ups of the MA State Police can be dealt with with a former AG warming the chair.

I'm not as down on her as some here. Then again, while I agree that "personality" can sway the stupid, there's nothing like brains. I'll vote for brains any day.
