NYAmiga and shoes
You're not actually trying to convince anybody of anything by comparing candidates to shoes, are you?
NYAmiga:</> "[Barack will] be Manolo Blahniks: High-heeled, sexy, fashionable. [Hillary will] be Airsole pumps: sensible, comfortable, classy. Which one would you walk a mile in?"
Hillary is a pair of klaags. No, wait, flip-flops. No, klaags.

Hillary's Iraq Vote
In my humble opinion, her vote will help her in the general election against McCain. He won't be able to paint her as "unpatriotic" or "undecisive" or any of the other stuff the Hawks will throw at Obama.
This is why she's taken all the slings and arrows thrown her way by the left and refused to apologize for it. The Iraq vote will cost her votes from the purer-than-driven-snow progressives but will pay off in November.

Try This
But before you do: Edwards didn't jump on the anti-Hillary bandwagon in the interview I saw and to which you refer in your article, but it was reported that way. And no offense, if you believe the spin the media (or the campaigns) put on anything, well, I have a bridge...
But, for hundreds of thousands even into the millions of us, John Edwards was not a poor but gee this is the best we can do choice. He was the choice of a life time.
So, try this. Have some back bone, be like Edwards, and vote for him.
With a vote for Edwards his issues and those people living in poverty and those veterans under bridges may have a fighting chance. And you won't have to feel embarassed and undecided, poor thing, just proud.

So true, so true
"All I can say with assuredness is this: Whatever move I make, I bet it's going to hurt."
I'm in the same boat, though I had to make the decision with my absentee ballot a week ago, when Edwards was still in the race but I knew he was no longer a contender. I blogged about my decision; you can read it by clicking on my signature.
I just went to a friend's memorial this afternoon, and a woman I have known for years, a die-hard Second Waver, was there with a big Obama button pinned front and center on her bosom. That struck me as rather tasteless.

Texas Democrat says:
Mr. Sandy, I can relate to your sentiments! I have felt the same way at times, but then I remind myself to consider the source!
To all those that say I am a “Hillary Operative,” I take that as a compliment! I wish I worked for Hillary Clinton’s Campaign! Sorry to disappoint you, but I am just supporting the BEST CANDIDATE FOR THE JOB OF PRESIDENT!
Moveon.org is now encouraging their members to protest the marines! That is really going to fly with the Republicans and a War Hero! Those who do not know better are so naïve!
Those who say that he does not need experience are delusional! Can you imagine if an inexperienced person walked into a company and applies for CEO and says “I can do it better because I am new and different and have a lot of “hope” and “inspiration” and I can “change” things!” LOL!!! They would be the laughing stock! It is insanity to think experience does not matter! This undermines the system and American way of starting from the bottom and working your way to the top! Not start at the top like Obama desires to! How irresponsible!
I have been in real estate very successfully for the last decade only to be ruined by the “young, I want to get rich quick with the least amount of work, and lure the masses to do what I say they should do for my own agenda” punks! We all know now how that is working for them! My point is, it is all of the inexperienced people with the “Yes I can” attitude that led all to ruin the real estate field.
Obama WILL NOT be able to deliver on all of his pandering promises. Then the whole country is going to turn on him and his approval rating will be less than Bush’s! You have to work with all branches of government to make change, not just “hope” for it! You have to work with the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive branches, not a unitary executive power such as the current president is practicing. The Republican Congress is GOING TO DESTROY OBAMA! Then come election year 2012, the Republicans are going to say “The Democrats thought they could do it better, and now look how pathetic they are!” That is not a fear tactic, it is reality! Why do you think Congress approval rating is even lower than Bush’s? The Republicans are already doing this! REALITY PEOPLE….NOT AN ILLUSION!
Hillary has worked with the Republicans and has proven results! My heart has done nothing but lead me to getting it broken, but when I think with my mind, then I am in control! The only reason the Obama followers, hence the word followers, are thinking with their hearts and not their minds is because they are lacking the latter. Although as disrespectful as they are, you wonder about their hearts also! The attacking from them is equal to or worse than the Republicans.
Obama does not bring unity! He does the exact opposite! How is Obama about change when that is all he does is invoke names of the past and his endorsers are nothing but the past? I have learned more history from Obama this last month than my whole primary and secondary education span combined!
Don't his endorsers from Washington realize that Obama is insulting them when he insults the ways of Washington? The whole message is so inconsistent!
He says he is about unity and he has managed to divide gender, race, political parties, and he has even managed to split the Kennedy’s! The most Democratic Family of all! He is on a bigger roll than Bush! Obama has accomplished in one month what has taken Bush 7 ½ years to accomplish! Real “amazing” alright!
Obama=The Permanent Divide which undermines the whole meaning of Democracy, and I don't want have any part of that kind of "hope!" What a facade!
