But I'll be realistic. Once the democratic nominee is filtered out, I'll more than likely vote for whoever it is. Yes, probably even Hillary (cringes). I'd just wish it was KD.

Obama looks ok. Though, I have a weird feeling that if he becomes elected he's going to re-neg on some of his issues that helped get him elected. I suppose every politician does that though. But again, it's just a feeling.

I understand that Hillary Clinton is not the most likable of the candidates. But know one in their right mind can claim that she isn't capable.

Capable of being president or getting elected?

Sure. But just about anybody is capable of being the president. It's not as if being one requires you to be especially smart...

It's not a requirement, no, but would you want a dumb president?

Well, no. But that really didn't help me out last presdential election. Or the one before that for that matter.

Having a smart, socially driven person in the office is definitely better than the alternative though. I'll give you that.

Som according to Newsweek, Obama raised more than Clinton in the first quarter of 07...23.x million to 20. 🙂

However, Clinton has $30.1 million in the bank and Obama has $19 million srug

Clinton has been in politics a while.

I'm interested in who is playing well in the election, not who played well previously. 🙂

...Why are you qualifying that? Both candidates are performing extremely well. Why is experience a bad thing?

Analysis of the debate, anyone? 131

Several polls (including USA Today, CNN, and Rasmussen) put Hillary Clinton between 8 and 15 points ahead of Obama 131

I hope Hillary wins. She's smart, tough, and stands by her beliefs. 3 qualities I look for in a leader.

I hope Obama wins. He's smart... and black.

That's enough for me.

What does the color of his skin have to do with anything?

Almost everything, though gender is infinitely more important 😛
