You really think they have deep differences over who is best for the job? I think in most cases it is more about being against the nominator rather than the nominee. For example - the Shrillary thing in this case - she will likely object because of Whitewater - I don't think what's best for the citizens of the State of NY will ever enter into her mind. If she doesn't object, it will be for political reasons, not because she got past her personal animosity and did what she thought was right for her constituents.

Still want to quit?
