1. I was never particularly a Hillary fan...

Edited on Fri May-09-08 05:05 PM by Blue_In_AK

but I'm still skeptical of Obama. I know he'll be the candidate, and I'll vote for him, but I guess I'm just too old and cynical to be swept up by all this "hope" stuff. When he's president and I start seeing some concrete changes coming down, then I'll reassess.

2. it was her divisive remarks yesterday

and I waited a very long time because I do want her health plan over his plan.
I always admired her spunk, the way she beat that Mafia guy from NY when she ran for Senator there. Also, for the younger ones here, the Clinton years were really good years (until Newt Gingrich got in his "Contract on America") and we all loved them. He had a great cabinet mostly, and she was so dissed by the media, the Republicans, she garnered our sympathy because at least she tried to get Universal health care way back then.

I still want to see her as VP though. I'm not about to give up on that!

haven't seen him/her around, but they said that if Hillary lost either PA, IN, or NC, they would support Obama. This was back in April.
