    Obama vs. Hillary

    What a bunch of interesting comments!! My husband and I are certainly turned off by Hillary and Bill - after reaching the point of liking Bill - and we've both privately threatened to not vote for Hillary - ever! But some of the posted comments have caused me to re-think: would I let idealism outrank pragmatism? Good point! At this time in history I really, really, don't want the Republican platform to dominate - no matter who is in the White House! I'm closely following the middle of the road, very intelligent bi-partisan statesmen that met at the Univ. of Oklahoma recently (Bloomberg among them)to talk about the current divisiveness and whether or not to inject an Independent Party with one of their own - presumably but not necessarily Bloomberg - to run if either nominee seems too divisive or radical. Wait and see, I guess. At any rate, our vote here in Idaho won't count for much! Pat in Idaho
