He also said that he was offended Barack was going around calling himself African-American when he is really bi-racial.

Another woman said, "the Clinton years were great & she just wants to go back to something she knows she can rely on..." She went on to say that if Obama took the nomination she would have to consider whether to vote for somebody else (read:McCain) or not at all.

I repeatedly asked, "Why, Why? They are so similar on the issues, why?" I received no clear answers, no legitimate response, just vague references to fancy speeches don't matter, no experience, I just don't like what he represents and so on...

My conclusion of the first guy is he has some kind of problem with race. Whether he wants to admit it or not I think he somehow felt Obama was benefiting from saying he was black & able to get more votes because he would be the quote on quote first black president.

I actually agreed with the second lady until she couldn't back up why she wouldn't vote for Obama if he won fairly.

So my overall conclusion is some Hillary supporters aren't seeing reason. In what world is McCain the best alternative to voting for Hillary

The only people who can see McSame as an alternative to Hillary are right wing Republicans...Real Democrats and Independents see Obama as the best equipped to change the direction of the country and move it in the right direction.



43 Delegates to go!

Interesting to say the least...
I totally understand the argument of No experience, not enough experience, not the right experience, I don't agree with his policies, etc. Even if you say I don't trust him/her at least give me some examples of why.

But ultimately I understant that most people make these type of decisions on feelings, gut instinct and who they feel is most "like them" or, to borrow a phrase from Bill "feels their pain".
