It's about the war
I am a lifelong anti-war activist. So this is an easy choice for me. Obama spoke out against the war. http://www.barackobama.com/2002/10/02/remarks_of_illinois_state_sen.php

Hillary voted to authorize that war only 8 days later.

1. For most voters, it is not about the war, but the economy.
Of course, individual mieage may vary, eh. :)

12. I live in Michigan...metro detroit...yes, NAFTA cost us a lot of jobs here
We have a manufacturing based economy in this state. NAFTA cost many jobs.

We also have Selfridge ANG base in our neighborhood...lots of men and women in Iraq from ths area...

We are trillions of dollars in debt from this war. You don't think that effects the economy?

I believe that you are attempting to use political trickery!

3. Carry a grudge about it you wish. If it wasn't this then it would be
something else.

6. You think this is a grudge???
Tell that to the families of our 4000 dead soldiers. Holding Hillary accountable for her vote for IWR is a GRUDGE!

Good grief.
