Here is an article by the venerable Charles Krauthammer that well-expresses my own personal feelings about a Hillary presidency: that it wouldn't really be so bad.
Click here for the article.
The nice thing about the Clintons is that they are happy to yield to public pressure if it serves their political goals. This self-preserving tendency served a few conservative causes well; Krauthammer reminds us, in the form of Welfare reform and NAFTA. What Krauthammer doesn't mention, at least not here, is that when the Clintons are at their most stubborn, conservatives still win. At least they did in 1994. With the their heels dug in the mud, unrelentingly seeking universal healthcare, midnight basketball (remember that??!!), and a budget that increased taxes; the Clintons delivered unto us the 1994 Republican congressional route.
Of course, as comforting as it is to see the Clinton-future in the rosy shades of hopeful cynicism, reality mottles the view with the certainty of poorly chosen judgeships, DA's, and at least some form of Hillary-care.
I think the moral of the story is ... vote Ron Paul.
