Roy at Alicublog sums up my own response to the idea of a Hillary nomination beautifully:

Like a surprising number of evil traitors, I don't much care for Hillary Clinton myself. A Presidential race between her and Rudolph Giuliani would be a good reason to flee the country. Yet if such a nightmare befell us, in the likely event that I am still trapped in this godforsaken hellhole, I will, with the demented glee of Christopher Walken blowing his brains out in The Deer Hunter, pull the Democratic lever. Because, with our Republic on the verge of certain extinction, there will be nothing but vengeance on my mind. I know that, before Queen Clinton 44 sends us all to concentration camps, there will be many prominent Republican suicides -- I don't see, for example, how Paul Weyrich could stand to draw breath in such a world -- and that many more such will perish in the doomed resistance of the Red Dawn Militias to the occupying forces of the United Nations. It will be some comfort to remember, as I lay dying of malnutrition in some lice-infested barracks, the look on the Ole Perfesser's face when the Blue Helmets burst into his McMansion, and his final "Heh? Indeed?"

Alternatively, we could nominate and elect some other Democrat, and spare ourselves all this drama. But, being Godless and all, I will take what I can get.

Yes my friends, the longest hour and forty minutes of your life plus a few pointless drawings and some animation that we didn't end up using in the actual feature so you know it's got to be worth the price of the DVD.

*sob*

Why must you producers rape my childhood and then slap it on a DVD to mock me with? Why?

Should you wish to see what abomination they've gone with on the cover, click here. Raistlin looks like a spastic, Tanis looks like a greeter at a goddamn Renaissance Faire ("What ho, good pilgrim! Seekest thou fresh ale or a hearty peasant bread?"), and Goldmoon, much as she was in the books, is just kinda there.

At least it's coming out after Xmas so nobody can buy it for me as a gag gift and I won't be forced to then beat them to death with the nearest blunt object after I receive it. So I guess that's something.
