Just a reminder, we have TWO great candidates.
I don't agree with either of them 100% -- but anyone who would agree with them 100% is a programmable robot.

I still like the 'dream ticket' idea with Obama as veep, but they call it 'dream' for a reason...

11. Scary, isn't it?
I still prefer Obama overall, but both have strong points and there is more than one perspective to consider.

If we have to make "the hard choice" down the road, as to whom to vote for or whatever else, fine.

4. Once Clinton began aligning herself with the republican nominee she ruined any good will
that I may have offered.

6. sorry - we have ONE great candidate and then there's Hillary....
While I agree that he could help HER ticket, She is NOT what Obama needs for VP.

Hate to bust up a perfectly good "kumbayah" moment.... Really I do.... sigh

7. You keep using that word...
I do not think it means what you think it means.

Hillary Clinton isn't a great candidate. You can't be a great candidate if you aren't even a great person. Hillary's win at all costs campaign to rip the flesh from Obama so he is either seen as worthless to the superdelegates or to the general election electorate is deplorable. I have a daughter and I try to teach her to act in an opposite fashion to how Hillary and her attack goons have acted this nomination campaign season. Barack Obama is a better role model for her, if she's going to be picking up cues from public figures. I don't see how Hillary can look herself in the mirror at night, frankly.

24. Yes, but you think that politics has to be cynical and destructive. It doesn't.
Obama hasn't conducted himself like Hillary has.
We can have a better way of campaigning, a better way of governance.

13. Nope... Hillary and her people are bad people.... I don't want anything to do with them again...
Hillary crossed several lines the past several weeks...... more than I even thought she was capable of.


I won't support her. Call me whatever names you want.

18. Just yesterday, I posted how proud I was of our two candidates.
After hearing about McCain 60 Minutes interview, it no longer applies. Knew it would happen, just not this fast. Hillary Rodan Clinton can take a hike as far as I'm concerned. I'm done with that fucking family.

21. I'd take that any day over Clinton and he is a candidate
60 minutes are ticking away on Clinton's chances even to hold her seat in 2010
