I think Clinton has too much baggage to make her an effective President. For the past 7 years we've heard "Questioning the President helps the terrorists." But do you think those who said that will continue that attitude if Clinton is elected? Of course not! The same will happen if Obama is elected, but I don't think it will be half as bad. Sexism is more acceptable in this country than racism. If Clinton is elected, then the conservative mud machine will go into overdrive and do everything they can to prevent her from doing her job then blame her when things go wrong. It's not fair, correct, or American but that's life.
Being in Illinois, I prefer Obama. I like his stance and his attitude and I think he's more likely to listen to the other side and be willing to compromise so things can get done. Someone has to be mature and take the first step to unify the country. Bush Jr refused to do it in any meaningful way. Clinton is unlikely to as well. McCain is about as bad as Bush when it comes to arrogance. Huckabee is the only person who I think would be worse than Bush. So who does that leave?
