    I Don't Get It

    Obama and Clinton are very much alike when looking at the issues which MOST americans are concerned with. Therefore when the Clinton lovers say I won't vote for him the issues apparently are irrelevent. They almost sound like little children "wah wah I won't vote for him cause he ran a better campaign and beat Clinton. I don't really care about issues cause I'm voting for McCain a candidate who is 180 degree different than the candidate I used to support." I assume these are the people who vote on personality. Remember the guy you'd most like to have a beer with? Strange that people would vote for the WORST president ever twice just on a "perceived" Rove/media creation. That doesn't bode well when considering just how informed people are when considering the candidate they choose when selecting our president. Bushs second term is proof of that.
