She doesnt waver on her beliefs and believes in the priciples of freedom and puts the country first no matter where she is. She is well spoken and can take crtisism with thoughtful and intelligent reply.
I hope she runs someday as I think she would be a great leader for this country.

I agree with all of this. She would be a formidable candidate and is one of the sharpest and most tactful you will come across.
What I don't see in her is a connection to a sizable fundraising network. IMO getting the nomination is unfortunately as much about your ability to raise cash as it is anything else. However i think her talent and natural leadship skills would attract the big money folks were she to get involved in the process. I'd love to see it.
