90. Overthrowing the military industrial complex in one election isn't realistic
In fact I don't think it's going to be solved by an election at all. The only way it will end is when the people get fed up with it and demand its end. We're unfortunately not at that point yet and perhaps not even close.

My hope is that Obama might bring some new voters into the process who will force politicians to take some baby steps in the right direction. With Clinton I know that won't happen. I don't believe Obama is the savior or that he will deliver anything dramatically different. But I am hopeful that he can do some good in certain areas.

And if Clinton is the nominee I'll still work for her. Stem cell research, reproductive rights, discrimination laws, and all of the other areas that she differs with the Republicans do have great effects on peoples' lives.
