Dennis Miller, comedian, and more recently known for his political commentary and satire, has a valid point: Why would Democrats that want change, vote for Hillary?! We already know about a Clinton ran White House via Bill's presidency. Nothing new there. Even more so why would the black segment of the US population feel they are better off in hope of lasting changes under Hillary when they didn't get that experience under Bill Clinton?
I'm not endorsing Obama over Hillary, don't misunderstand. I've decided I will not vote for neither candidate. I personally don't see any lasting tangible changes coming with either regime. I'm just trying to get a feel for the direction of the Democratic party in general. Admittedly I find this election being one of the most interesting and diverse ever.
Democrats
For those deciding to vote for Hillary or Obama, why do you choose your particular candidate over the other?
Republicans and Independents if you want to answer, please do. If a gun was put to your mother-in-laws head and you were told you had to choose Hillary or Obama, or she gets shot, who do you choose?! Just kidding! I know, your mother-in-law just took a bullet. Ok! Pretend the gun is aimed at your head. Now who would you choose if you had to?
Actually, I'd vote for Kucinich before anyone else. Obama second. Biden he would be my third choice. Then Richardson. Edwards. Clinton last.
Unfortunately, only people with money & connections get the publics attention, that's why we see more Clinton propaganda than anyone else.
To be honest, Richardson was probably more qualified than anyone else with his credentials. I wish more people would just research each candidate on their own, rather than have the candidate come to them, and decide who to pick based on a 30-second ad spot. Sick. Sad. Pathetic.
Kinda off the posted subject a bit, but I wish that once we got passed the Democrat/Republican primaries and into the stretch, that other parties, Independents, etc... could be included on a nationally televised debate stage. As far as propaganda the media is fickle. They like to jump on bandwagons and hedge bets. Fox was commentating yesterday how NBC has deliberately taken swipes at Hillary in favor of Obama. The Clinton's obviously do get a lot of exposure with Bill the ex-Pres and Hillary truly the first women with a legitimate chance at the White House. I'm sure the larger revenue for advertisement helps Hillary's campaign, but it doesn't guarantee that we will have to listen to Fleetwood Mac come November, at least I hope not.
I think any serious Independent if there is one will be included in the debates . Ross Perot was but Nader and Buchanan were not.
Gun to my head ? I would have an agonizing conundrum. Obama does not have enough experience . Neither does Evita . I think she could possible run foreign policy better ,and I think that despite her current pandering to the Kossak wing of the party ;she would be fairly hawkish . I do think as 1st lady she nurtured contacts even if she did not directly participate in the decision process. (This is turning my stomach making a case for her ) . Over-all it comes down to the devil you know . I have no clue what Obama brings to the table besides charisma.
Finding a Democrat I would vote for president is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Finding a old, rich, white guy at a country club that isn't a scotch drinking, bigotted, narrow minded jackass is like... Wait I just described 90% of the GOP candidates.
Like Hillary, coronated Queen of New York? John Kerry, pauper of Massachusetts? John Edwards, millionaire trial lawyer? Chris Dodd or Joe Biden, colored middle class guys? The Kennedy's? George Sorros, billionaire benefactor and de facto owner of the Democrat Party? Who you talking about? Alan Keyes? Ron Paul? Cry me a river.
