I didn't read the article.

I like Obama a lot.

I'm voting for Hillary for reasons that have nothing to do with whether or not I like Obama a lot. I'm voting for Hillary because her husband got *that close* to balancing our budget and saving our dollar (and I think that is really important at the moment).

I'm voting for Hillary because she's a really tough woman with a solid background and I thnk she CAN be the first female president in the USA. We've never had another woman run for office with as much experience as she brings to the table -- plus she brings a husband that has already BEEN president. There probably will never be another moment like this.

Is she wishy-washy? Sure. She's not going to make decisions until she knows all the facts and can make the decisions legitimately. I don't blame her for that.

Will she do the right things? In my heart, I think she and Bill care deeply for this country. They have a child who is hopefully going to get married and have children and so they want to make this country the best place it can be. I know Bill didn't come from a privileged upbringing. I don't know about Hillary. Unlike George W., I think they will try to do right by the common man.

Anyway, I like Obama a lot and I could read fabulous articles about him every day of the week -- but I really feel like it is Hillary's turn to make history. Maybe she'll pick Obama as a running mate? That could be very nice all the way around. It would set him up to run in 8 years and he'd have a lot more experience behind him.

Sen. Obama has the Kennedyesque fervor that is needed to reunify America. Sen. Clinton simply does not. She is calculating, she is not her husband, she has no more experience than the other candidates. Obama does very well at stump speeches. He does OK at debates and interviews. If more people saw his stump speeches he would be nominated tomorrow.
