More like pragmatic. You have one candidate who has put distance between himself and the lobbies, and another that has outright stated that she sees nothing wrong with them.
I will trust Obama's promises on that before I will trust Hillary's.
There are other reasons to pick Obama over Hillary, for one thing, foreign policy.
Lets be honest here, you run on the strength of your foreign policy, and then you call the guy with the world's second biggest nuclear arsenal "soulless" you ain't bright.
Then there is the charisma. Obama is charismatic, as the last week has shown rightwing attacks on him have more rallied people behind him than done the reverse.
Now her stated policy is nearly identicle to Obama's, Obama's is slightly better, but there isn't much in it. So we are left with who do we believe. And here is the thing, why scapegoating should be a more important issue to the electorate: Do you really trust the candidate most likely to push the scapegoat issues?
