I was an Edwards supporter. After he dropped out of the race, I chose to support Hillary mostly because I like her policy proposals, I think she is definitely more electable and partly because I was sickened by the pushiness and holier-than-thou attitude of Obama supporters, a portion of whom admit to not even being interested in politics before he showed up.

It drives me crazy when people taut their political apathy as if it were a virtue. I cannot believe that some of Obama's supporters' relative lack of political knowledge and interest is supposed to be a positive sign. I cannot see how those votes are reliable. So he won landslide victories in the South. What use is that in November in Bushland? The white, conservative majority of the South is not voting for a Democrat or a black man or a woman, at least not for a decade, we all know that.

Yes, Obama was against the war. I commend him for that, so was I, from day one, but I doubt Obama would be voting against Bush's war if he were a US Senator at that time. He is too much of a good politician and at that time it would be a misstep to vote against the war. Unfortunately, there are no ambitious politicians who would dare to vote against Bush at the height of the Freedom Fries craziness. His gift is not his good judgment. He was just lucky not to be in the US senate at that point in time.

Call me jaded but, I don't look to politicians to be inspired. I honestly don't understand why anyone would. It is lazy to wait for a Messiah to inspire you to get involved in politics. I am inspired to be involved without a good looking man, delivering beautiful speeches (written by speech writers) and devoid of content. As it is, Obama campaign reminds me of the Reagan campaign. The symbolic rhetoric is so similar. It's all feel-good speeches. Middle class and upper middle class America eats that up. Working class is not moved that easily with feel-good rhetoric.

If you looked at history, you'd see that there is nothing older than a candidate who promises change in Washington, DC. So Obama is old news to me. Having said that, all Democrats should vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is in November without any reservations and I like Obama as much as I like Hillary and I think he would make a good president, but I like her policy proposals more and I think that's what matters in the end.
