An Invitation to Hillary Supporters or Common Ground Part III
I normally do not blog this much in one day (or in one week, for that matter), but in the true spirit of finding common ground--and in revulsion against the trolls who claim to support Obama--I would like to extend an invitation to Hillary supporters: Tell us your story. Why Hillary? Not why not Obama, but why her?
Please follow the rules I have asked Obama supporters to follow: No snark. No finger-pointing or comparing. No bashing or baiting. Because I know you have reasons that are really not about Obama, or his supporters (or trolls). Tell me why Hillary rocks your socks.

She's competent, experienced and knows how to deliver a sucker punch. And pretty charming face-to-face.

She's competent? That must be why her two biggest undertakings, healthcare reform and running for president, were such smashing successes...

Well, I notice most of her competitors are out of a job, and the one remaining didn't do such a bangup performance in West Virginia, Kentucky or Pennsylvania and a few other of those states that don't count.
Are you just bitter getting smacked down by a woman?
And tell me what Barry's attempted on the size of health care reform? He didn't even manage to oppose Bush on much of anything. How will he take on Big Pharma?

The reasons have been gone over pretty well on the other threads. What do you think re-typing all of the reasons here would provide?

Yeah, this is not such a great idea. Too late in the day for it.
It should be Obama supporters saying why they like Hillary.
U N I T Y, people.

I'll kick in a few.
She's a much better debater. Quicker on her feet.
I liked her answer about negotiating with foreign leaders. I don't think there's much substantive daylight between BO and HRC here, but she said it in a way that didn't leave any opening for Republican attack.
She *is* a hard worker.
And yeah, her healthcare plan is probably better.
But I've been donating to Obama. Ask me why on a different thread.

Is that the "Obama's underworld ties to Middle Eastern terrorists" thread? Sorry, sounded too cute to pass up. Probably you're donating to him because you like that he's not as connected to Washington, hasn't pissed off or inspired nutcakes like Hillary has, and didn't vote for the AUMF. It's okay, we can take it, as long as you don't use that finger. For a chimp that's highly aggressive behavior.

As an Obama supporter, I do have a few positive things to say about Hillary:
She married well
She is educated
She is rich
