63. Hrm... look at my icon and I don't even think so. Why would it be good for the country?
I don't get it.

Why do we assume that people passionately involved in the election process, closely supporting two clearly qualified candidates is somehow a bad thing?

I think its amazing how many previously dispassionate people Obama has managed to get fired up enough to participate in the process, and I think its great that Senator Clinton represents capable leadership and intelligence that long time democrats - and the rest of the freakin country - can admire. Even though I am one of those "twenty years of two family rule is enough" people (that's a really big issue for me), I think Hillary Clinton is a phenomenal woman, and I'm extremely excited to have a democratic woman and a democratic African American both inspiring so many people.

They outclass anyone the Republicans have by leaps and bounds.

Yes, I have a very strong preference - to the point that I will even be very sad if my candidate does not get the nomination. I COULD go into all the reasons I don't support Hillary, but I chose not to right now. Because I feel like we have lost so much perspective during the course of this primary. We need to start getting it back before the general.
