41. My Soccer Mom Republican Sister Will Vote for Obama
This is my first post and need to vent a little. Since I can't create new topics this was the closest I could find.

I've always been the Liberal Independent and my sister a lifelong conservative Republican from New Jersey. Today on the phone she said all of her friends have such a high contempt for Hillary for reasons she doesn't know. She did however say she likes Obama. I was blown away!

I think everyone wants a change. We want the Bush/Clinton era to finally end. Enough is enough. Hillary and Bill had their time in the White House and I think those were good times. But that age is gone. It's time for a new era of inspiration.

I can't believe that someone could watch a speech by Hillary and then a speech by Mr. Obama and honestly think she would be a better leader in such a pivotal time.

I will go a step further and say that Hillary's negatives will draw conservatives out of the woodwork. The only chance Democrats have of losing this election is if Hillary is the nominee.

Thanks for reading.
