are you voting for her for any specific, real reason involving her policies, or just because she's a woman? i'm serious here; what exactly about her policies make her the best choice in your opinion?
People have been accusing me of voting based on something they consider "irrelevant": her support (and Obama's hostile attitude) towards Constellation. What people don't realize is that if we delay it another five years, as Obama wants to, we're not just going to have ten years of no human spaceflights. We most likely will have twenty, thirty years of no human spaceflights. The shuttles are being retired in two years, and if Constellation is delayed we'll lose it altogether. We need it SOONER, not later

a legitimate reason. thank you for answering my question. i am much more of an Obama person because of his stances involving immigration and social security reform, and Hillary's anti-video game crusade. but i can respect an honest reason. too many people don't have them.
Argh, I had no idea she was pro-NASA. Not enough to sway the vote of the geekiest part of me but... ... Well, Russia IS getting more and more dictatorial these days. Maybe we'll have another Space Race?
At this point, I'm just voting democrat. I've been to both a Clinton and an Edwards rally while in NH, and sorry to say I was more impressed with what Edwards had to say, even despite the fact I also got to see Bill talk before Hillary came on. But looking at the polls, my vote really wouldn't have mattered either way even if I was home to do so. In short, all three of the democrats had more or less what I wanted...IMO their views aren't really all that different this time around, which is why the race had been so close in Iowa.
At this point, I'm just hoping to catch a debate or 2 on tv, although they suck compared to seeing candidates in person.
I agree, Obama and Clinton's stances don't differ too much, except in teeny little areas like NASA and video games that no one cares about. I honestly haven't put too much research into Edwards, but I think he'd make a good veep.
Honestly, it's not the little things such as NASA or video games that are swaying me towards Obama. I mean, if that was the sort of thing that made me vote, I'd be voting for Ron Paul, whose policies concerning greater individual liberty and responsibility, legalization of marijuana, etc., are closer to my own opinions. I disagree with Clinton's stances concerning video game legislation and regulation, but that's not it
