Like I've said here over and over, the candidates are all Clintonian Democrats. There is no real difference between them on policy.
So if I could tap one with a magic wand and put them in the White House it would be Obama.
Why? I don't like Obama. A level of hubris I've never seen in any political candidate, Rezko makes me think he's had shady dealings, and he has almost no experience which would scare the hell out of me on the national security issues. I'm unimpressed on any issue or personality trait other than he's good at reading a speech.
But he would be the first black president which would move the country ahead more in THAT way than anything else could. I know Clinton would be the first female but that's not as important because there are 16 female US senators and one black. Meaning women have caught up more than blacks and meaning it's' almost impossible for a black Senate candidate to win statewide elections.
Ironically that fact is also why I'm not supporting Obama. I dont' think he will win. 22% of the white vote in Florida. Am I willing to take a stand and vote for the one I would tap for the sake of what his win "would" symbolically mean for the country if he got elected? Uh no.
I don't think Obama losing 78% of the white vote in Florida amounts to "racism" either. Some of it does. Maybe up to a third. The real reason is that Obama doesn't offer anything beyond being the first black president to alot of people myself included.
I want to know, who would you tap to put in the White House, and is it the same candidate you're voting for?
