If she is the nominee and eventual president...I cannot take 4 years of dredging up past scandals plus the fact that every single tiny misstep she might make will be blown into full scale round-the-clcok scandal. You really can't debate that she is a very divisive figure which is exactly what we don't need right now. It's kinda like she is the right candidate at the wrong time...the worst possible time in fact. Having her as president will just lead to four years or the right trying to get revenge and nothing will get done.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I don't want to vote for her based on what I have seen from her campaign. She lost in Iowa and stood up there with Bill, Madelain Albright and a host of early 90's retreads. Exit polls showed people wanted change and that young voters were out in force. So what does she do...leading up to NH she changed her campaigh signs from saying "ready to lead" to "ready for change". She wins NH and behind her is the University of NH student body. This, to me, confirms that she is someone who will lead based on polls and focus groups. She said in her NH victory speech that she "finally found her voice". Finally found her voice?? Hadn't she been campaigning for president, officially and unoffically for basically two years. Any she just now "found her voice"?? That's laughable. Obama has not strayed from his voice from day one, it has not changed based on exit polls. Sure, he may not be able to change Washington...but at least there is hope. Electing a Clinton will continue this gridlock and partisanship ad nauseum. Not to mention that she seems to be every bit as secretive and manipulative as the Bush administration has been. Her attacks on Obama have all been to take things he says out of context as if all her campaign does is scour Obama transcripts looking for something to take out of context. This is politics as usual and what I thought this country is sick of. She plays to the least common demonimator by throwing out charges that she knows average Americans will never take the time to look up and read the actual quote in context. I for one, am tired of those kinds of games.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Obama!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9281117.post-91773670504253833012008-02-01T05:58:00.000-08:002008-02-01T05:58:00.000-08:00I too thought Clinton won the debate last night.

She appeared more relaxed and Presidential.I only wish that when the VP running mate question came up she would have said, 'I can assure you of one thing, I will be seeking someone who does not enjoy close range shotgun maneuvers."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14261301075476435238noreply@blogger.com
