Quoted: For those of us who admire Mrs. Clinton and believe she would make a terrific president, there are hard trade-offs involved. She has an utter mastery of domestic and foreign policy, and among the Democrats she knows military and security issues in particular better than anyone else. And if the concern is to bring in fresh currents into the political system, what better way than electing a woman president?

It's beyond desperation at this point.
Quoted: Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."

I don't see how being a woman brings in "fresh currents" when her 20+ year career in Washington, immediate family history and initial campaign strategy pretty convincingly suggest the opposite.
It isn't just that Bush was a "continuation" or that Hillary would be either. GW's single worst move - Iraq - was an effort to distinguish himself from his father. Knowing that in Clintonia there is Camp Bill and Camp Hill, some version of that problem would probably come up again. Not only would she be trying to evoke those glorious 90s and fighting old battles against the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, but she'd be trying desperately to create a distinct legacy and making decisions on that basis. No thanks.
Not sure I quite buy the "trying desperately to create a distinct legacy" argument. As the first female president of these united states, her distinct legacy is ensured. Yes, she would want to be remembered for much more than that (as would any president), but she will not have any significant perceived pressure to achieve more in the way of a distinct legacy.
And I am fairly sure that either Democratic candidate would bring "fresh currents" to their administration, if that means differentiating their administration from the Bush years.
