And I think either one will/would make a great president, too. Hillary's amazing in many ways, and how awesome would it be to have a woman--a MOM--as leader of this country? But, in the end, I'm for Obama right now. I believe in the depths of my soul that this country is in a terrible state, and I truly believe that Obama carries with him hope, and can give the country hope, which is what we need for change. For the last 8 years I've been full of a sense of learned helplessness about this country---feeling defeated and pessimistic; but I think Obama is our chance at change, and that it's a matter of life and death, in many ways. That's where I'm at right now, anyway.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02048943082445040917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211543031504081746.post-90092410075764933272008-04-04T15:22:00.000-07:002008-04-04T15:22:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211543031504081746.post-28780102028080295462008-04-03T17:54:00.000-07:002008-04-03T17:54:00.000-07:00Either one will be a great president, but I think ...Either one will be a great president, but I think that the country's in sufficiently dire straits that we need someone like Obama more than we need someone like Clinton. I'm not quite as starstruck as some Obama supporters (like any big candidate, he's tight with the corporations, for instance), but he does have some ideas that he's not afraid to advocate, such as ending the war asap. That, I can respect more than Clinton's more measured (mealy-mouthed?) approach to pretty much every problem or issue, ever.Christopher Tassavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547273541099162779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211543031504081746.post-66095539996110046272008-04-03T15:43:00.000-07:002008-04-03T15:43:00.000-07:00I'd pick Hillary over McCain any day of the week, ...I'd pick Hillary over McCain any day of the week, but I'm backing Obama.

Not because I don't think Hillary would be a great leader, but simply because in our caucuses in this county back in January, the Clinton camps in every single precinct were not viable until after the SECOND reorganizing took place. Had it been a primary instead of a caucus, Clinton would not have had any delegates from this county in Iowa. Therefore, I chose to support Obama to give real voice to real votes.Cheesecake Mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051198916826044812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211543031504081746.post-47992828677902936012008-04-03T11:19:00.000-07:002008-04-03T11:19:00.000-07:00I've had enough of political family dynasties in t...I've had enough of political family dynasties in this country.
