I think Hillary's fans have an idealized view of her concocted from a comparison she suggested years ago, during her husband's administration, with Eleanor Roosevelt. The comparison, by the way, wasn't with Mrs. Roosevelt's political leanings.
Candidate Obama ran to the left of Hillary, do you remember? Between mandates and her war hawk tendencies, I don't make the claim that she'd be no different lightly. She's DLC to the bone. This gridlock that exists is really about political theater. It's to let Obama try to position himself as reasonable. For different reasons, Hillary would have been gridlocked, too. Everything that gridlocked her husband's administration would be revisited, as the basis for new scandals he's in (new girlfriends, new hedge fund irregularities, etc., and perhaps it would be expanded to include Chelsea and her husband's hedge fund activities, as well as the Clinton Initiative eyebrow-raisers).
