I'm glad Hilary Clinton won in the New Hampshire Democratic primary. I like Barak Obama, but I like Hilary better. I think Obama is just as much an old-school politician as any of them, despite his youth. I like his oratory, and his personal success, and his ability to motivate young adults to get out and vote, but I have more confidence in Hilary's ability to judge issues and made important decisions. Hilary is smart, hard-working, capable, experienced, and I like her stand on issues.
So, either way--Clinton or Obama, I think the Democractic party stands a chance of doing a better job in the president's office than the Republicans. But hey, those New Hampshire voters did good on the Republican side, too--McCain isn't all bad. He's definitely got the personal grit to lead.
So now--here's a nifty contest for those who like to make movies or who just enjoy parody: NHPR parody video contest.
I'm a die-hard liberal, but I actually used to have a fondness for McCain.
I was also a Hillary fan, until I really started paying attention to Obama and actually researched his voting record. He has generally made good decisions with regards to his congressional voting and hasn't simply "gone with the group". Hillary has on any number of instances. So, I changed my candidate.
I do think you're right with regards to either of them being better than what we've currently got. Which certainly isn't much. :)
Don't worry about a primary, just place an X under the donkey...Hillary, Obama, Edwards, and Gore are all tied in one important catagory...they are not Republicans. I wish Hillary and Obama would run as one ticket.
