Down to the wire...

 

Quick, who should I vote for? Obama or Clinton? Barack or Hillary? No, not a Republican - I know that much about myself. I swear, I thought this all through very carefully and chose the candidate I thought best reflected my values and priorities... and he came in second once and third the rest of the time and dropped out. Yes, I was an Edwards girl. I wish he'd endorse someone, and give me some guidance.

Hey, wait - WWJD? Yes, What Would Jimmy Do? Who is Jimmy Carter voting for? I trust his judgement a lot...

Of course, I'm riding to the caucus site with someone who has very strong opinions on this... and she's going to have the car keys. Caucuses are kind of public, right? They're not like primaries, where you just go into the little booth and vote in private. She would know... on the other hand, R will be babysitting her kids, so if she leaves me stranded she'll have to drive R home herself.

But seriously - I want affordable health care for all. I want a path for illegal immigrants to get citizenship, and no more walls. I want us out of Iraq, and I want us to drop this stupid ethnocentric idea that American-style democracy is best for every country. I think mandatory preschool is offensive - I think all mandatory school is offensive. I think we need to expand programs to help working Americans and stop subsidizing stupid shit. So, who should I vote for? The caucus starts at 6:00 tomorrow night...

We don't vote for another month, here.

Didja see this: Carter praises Obama, stops short of endorsement

If you find a candidate that's opposed to mandatory schooling, I would like to know. In the meantime, I 'think' it will be Obama for me.

I enjoy your blog and wanted to say hi.

I'm an Obama gal, I don't care who you are if Will.i.am's Yes We Can with Obama's speech doesn't get to you I don't know what will. Caucuses are great. I really enjoyed mine. Good luck!

Well, they are very similar on paper, but when it comes down to it... I'm going with Hillary! I think she is smart, prepared, can work the system, and has a good track record with a strong commitment to women's rights, health care, children's issues, etc. She deserves this chance! That's my two cents. I think all of the television ads and debates are useless for getting any real info - it's worth it to go to their websites and look at their issues statements and speeches and records and endorsements. www.hillaryclinton.com (you can guess the address for the other guy ;)

Obama, too many people already hate Hillary.

Srry I missed this. I'd suggest Obama. More positive energy. Looks like KS went with Obama.

I can't imagine another Clinton in the White House!

Well, you said no Republicans so I guess you don't want my McCain vote. Giuliani was my first choice, and he's gone....

What Would Jimmy Do, indeed. :)

Neither of them are perfect, is the trouble. :p My gut this time says Obama (and I do think he's going to get the nomination.) But it's hard. I would dearly love to see a woman as president.
