I didn’t disclose to many who I was supporting for the 2008 Democratic nominee. I think my feelings were like that of some, including the aforementioned Al Gore, who were most likely thinking “I’m not going to get in to this one.” We waited it out, to see who was going to win “the race”, before involving ourselves in the drama.
I voted for Hillary Clinton. My reasons are simple; I think her experience and positions as a democrat would have been adequate to get us out of the slump we’re in. I’m not the kind of guy who thinks that radical change is the answer, most often. I think slow and steady wins the course; and the path out of the devestation we’re seeing now in this country is going to need nuture and care.
I also believe it’s time for a woman president. That simply comes from the idea that we’ve seen our country led by men since the beginning; why not see what a woman can do? People suggest that Obama would change the world through his youth and change; I think a woman can change it through compassion. Maybe she wouldn’t have been the mother we always wanted, but I know she would have thought about things in a different way, and possibly, in a better way.
Now that HC is out of the race, I will stand by Barack Obama. I don’t think he’s a bad candidate, in fact, I think he’s a great one. Just not *as* good as Hillary.
