Can Hillary and Obama just keep splitting, splitting, splitting, with no end in sight?
Interesting.
I would be happy with either one. I think many other Democrats feel the same way. Please, oh Lord, please, just make it a Democrat for president.
Interestingly, I have heard and I kind of agree with the idea, that perhaps Obama against McCain assures a Democratic win…since Obama is so young and ready and McCain is such a geezer. Hillary won’t provide this ageist contrast.
On the other hand, Obama, while sparkly and charismatic, could end up alienating the middle. At least that’s what I fear. Obama fever could well take over the country, OR, it could backfire and he could lose miserably against McCain.
No crystal balls here. I do hope we get the exact president we deserve. These days, we deserve a real good one. We’ve endured the absolute worst.
Full disclosure: I voted for Hillary…because I think we need a pragmatic Wart Hog. I think Hillary’s the Wart Hog that can get the job done. Though I do hope it’s with Barak by her side. Together, they can fix this wretched hole of a country. And if it’s Barak as President with Hillary as Cheney, well, I’d be thrilled with that, too.

So far, the middle seems to be going for him. He won handily in Idaho, of all places. Of course, there are only 2 Democrats there - and I think they are my Mom and Dad.
I'm voting for Obama. I love Hillary and I will be thrilled if she wins. I think she deserves it. But......their platforms and qualifications seem quite similar to me and all else being equal - I actually feel hopeful for America when I hear Obama speak. I'd forgotton what that feels like.
we got so many calls and handbills and mailings from Obama's bunch before Super Tuesday that I began to feel uneasy. After all, in the 30s the Germans were ecstatic every time Hitler gave a speech. It's a fever people can catch. And we stayed home from the caucus. It was snowing hard and had been since noon. So Hillary did not get our 2 votes.

Yeah, I pretty much have "to turn this over to a power greater than myself", because it makes me nuts!
