Water is wet. Sometimes you can't tell when a Hillary complaint is coming from a FOX watcher or a Daily Kos blogger.

Heck, usually you can't.  That's because ethical complaints are universal.  Both sides can in good conscience criticize a politician on most scandals.  It's just that those of us who don't like Hillary, from the left or right, are more likely to think the scandals are a big deal.

"NO MORE BUSHES... OR CLINTONS"

-- Far-right plant pretending to be independent

I agree that someone that emphatic would tend to be right-wing, but there are some centrists who are skeptical of dynasty politics but would reluctantly vote for Clinton anyways.

The Clintons aren't a dynasty by any meaning of the word.

Fine, how about "brand-name politics."  My point is, there are some centrists, mostly Democratic-leaning, who would prefer a non-Clinton/non-Bush but that is only one of an array of factors in determining their vote, and extremism would outstrip that disadvantage.

I still have not seen any reason for why the left should have anything to do with Hillary.

Simple:  Hillary is the best chance for Dems to defeat the Republicans.  Let's be honest; given the Tea Party and increasing fiscal conservatism of the GOP along with a growing fissure in the Democratic Party between the business interests & Occupy Wall Street Types, there is one unifying trait among them:  they want to defeat the GOP. 

To achieve that end, then Hillary is your candidate.

Who better to rally anti-big business voters then the most Wall Street oriented Democrat out there? Someone is going to get screwed in the end and isn't the guys rolling in the piles of cash.

True, but to most Democrats, defeating the GOP is a huge priority, and they're willing to sacrifice a lot to reach that end.
