Wavering on Obama
I've been supporting Obama since the campaign began, but of late I'm getting nervous. What matters most is winning an election and stopping four more years of Bush policies in Iraq and securing health care, among many other issues.
Perhaps the Clinton argument has merit. If Obama can't compete in states with large electoral counts in the general election, then Clinton is a better choice. After all, what does matter mathematically is not a nationwide poll of democrats but polls and results from states considering the weight they bring in electoral counting.
I know one thing for sure. It's time to stop supporters in each camp from constant attacks. It seems that many posters on various sites enjoy these attacks far more than discussing issues. Where, for example, are the detailed posts about health care or the mortgage crisis.
I have to say that it was the nastiness and silly stuff of the Obama supporters on this site that made stop and think about my choice. I still may go for Obama in my upcoming primary, but unless I see more detailed offerings from Obama's people and supporters on issues and how he can win the general, I may go for Hillary.
