Well, Jo saw Hillary at Clark today and it totally made up her mind, Obama was a much worse speaker, she had a lot of well thought answers and was a very composed, strong speaker. Also, her stand on education and health care is more feasible than Obama's and while she is more conservative in some ways she is very women positive and very logical in general which gives her a better chance of winning over a republican candidate. To me she is the only choice to get a democrat in office this next term, Obama is young and can easily run again and when he does I will vote for him, just not this round, he needs some more world experience in my eyes. He has a lot of good but his vagueness scares me.
Mike Gravel! He's like a real person! If you want to go for someone who's more likely to actually win (what fun is that?)- I'm undecided, too. Luckily I'm not allowed to fuckin' vote and remain independent in my state. Did I tell you about that? I was very strongly with Hillary- there's the obvious argument that she has more experience, but watching debates, she's also more likely to answer questions directly. And I liked what I heard about her health care plan. However, some things I heard recently have been disconcerting. For example, deporting illegal immigrants with criminal records without due process. So here's a link to Obama, too. And some videos.
you are so.... useful. so freaking useful. that was exactly what i was looking for. i'm not exactly a huge fan of all hilary is saying, but at least she seems definitive about it. if this campaign were a sumi final, barack would do quite poorly for not citing examples. i don't trust that. maybe i'll just pencil sumi in. yeah.
I hope you voted for Barack. Hillary thinks like a neo-con and is a hawk when it comes to war. She's been beating the war drums with Iran and Pakistan for a long time now, whereas Barack has been voicing concern over Pakistan's democracy for over a year now. When it comes to domestic issues, I think Obama has a slight lead over Clinton, but when it comes to foreign policy Obama is Ani DiFranco and Hillary Clinton can't even hold the guitar properly.
there's something i don't quite like about Hillary, I don't feel like it's voting so much for her as a person, more like voting for the right to women to run. I really don't like that she's kinda forcing my hand
i had this crazy conversation with this girl today that totally put me off hilary. i barely even remember what she said. dear politics, why are you so confusing and distant? sincerely, heather
