One man informed me that, "Barack Obama had evil in his heart (how he can read people's heart I'll never know), was inexperienced, and was hiding his true intent for this country with fancy rhetoric." 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
