  all that glitters is not gold

  I agree with you. I don't think obama's been properly vetted & will likely have big problems in the general election & the White House, (if he gets there). The leaders of the Democratic party just can't seem to help themselves. Between the Kennedys, Kerrys, Pelosis, & the media our country is once again on the road to screwing itself. For me this race is not about personality but ideas. Hillary clearly has the better ideas. She has behaved badly on occasion, but she's become desperate & she has been treated unfairly. A number of her peers, the media, & a great many citizens have abandoned her after she stood for them. Look at the work she did for the Katrina victims, (even the Repubs grudgingly gave her kudos). Where were the voters of LA & MS? Their loyalty, like Richardson, Leahy, Daschle, Dodd, Kerry, Casey, etc was not to be seen. Pretty much the same place any original ideas from obama are, other than his "superior judgment". It's like Deval Patrick's speech that was obama's before it was Patrick's & then obama's again. Or his economic plan that economists said was a virtual clone of Hillary's or his last minute decision to renegotiate NAFTA after she revealed her intentions to renegotiate. His economic advisor was so panicked he went to the Canadians to reassure them it was just to get voters. The list goes on. There will be a mountain of catastrophes a la Bush when the next president takes office. We need someone with sound ideas & creative solutions, someone that will accept counsel from others & determine the best, not another Bush in obama clothing.
