What is this Obama thing about? I certainly wouldn't have voted for either, but Hillary is so much more qualified? Is it because of Bill?

If this has been asked then Admin can delete this thread. Thank you!

The first answer is, unlike the Repubs, the candidate gets to make the decision; it's not up to the party.

We didn't like the way she ran her campaign. Atleast I didn't. My wife voted for her I voted Obama. I really, really hated how she treated her party member. She should have saved those tactic for the Republicans. She would have won if she kept it clean. When all of this is over you'll find that the tactic that worked the least was the negative attacks.

The party members voted in the primaries.
Obama won.
That's why.

I hope the OP was referring to the Democratic people when they stated "the Democrats" b/c that's what I based my answer on.

no idea why, everyone is still trying to find out why, probably massive voter fraud again thanks to acorn.

lets see a woman who has YEARS of experience, who has been in the WH and was aware and INVOLVED in every aspect of bills presidency. or we can vote for a black guy who has no experience has never authored a bill, but can vote present and attach all kinds of riders to receive $862 million over 8 years for special interest, all the while NEVER IMPROVING his community. real tough decision there. oh ya, did i mention he has never administered anything...wow. just amazing the power of what race can do.

I think some of her own party just didn't care for her or Bill. For different reasons relating to the past. Was part of it because she was a woman, too? I liked her much better than Obama, but have come to see our country right now needs more of Obama's leadership.

looking back, its a good thing the democrats didnt choose Hillary. She certainly wouldnt be leading is states like Virginia, North Carolina or Colorado, mainly because Hillary is a polarizing figure and republicans hate her. She also would not have attracted the number of Independents Obama is attracting. If Hillary had been the nominee, we'd be looking at an electoral map similar to 2000 and 2004 where once again all eyes would be just on Florida and Ohio. That scenario doesnt look good for the democrats.

But experience isnt everything. Americans have picked many "inexperienced" presidents and many became our nation's greatest presidents.
