Well...lets think about it...A fresh, young guy who has yet to be corrupted by the evils of Washington or a chick who stayed with her husband who cheated on her in order to gain political pull....hmmmm? not so tough anymore...I thought it would be, but putting aside the fact that we need women in higher places (we also need them to be surgeons too...), Obama looks like a better candidate right now. Granted, this is a very naive reflection of the race, but as the way things look on the surface, I'm rooting for the brotha...you all know my weakness for those :0)
But seriously, I think he's an all around great candidate. No real corruption, probably not as many under-the-table ties as Hillary does, and he's from Kenya! I like that about him. He's cultural. The dude grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia, worked a low paying salary and has brought himself up. That's a man who knows what it's like to struggle, to go through obstacles and can really see things from a broader perspective. I see Obama focusing on the issues of America versus the issues of the world.
Again, this is the day after he's announced his running for the Democratic Party....who knows whats going to come out from now until the Democratic National Convention...
Let's not forget that Hillary Clinton is a powerful woman. She's good. She kind of reminds me of me, she's a little weaker than myself in terms of handling her man, but then again I cry at the end of every Grey's episode...She can and will do a lot for our country, there's no doubt in my mind.
Maybe its Obama's looks that's got me going...
I'll do some reading on Hillary and we'll see if my opinions change, but for now...the worldly, underprivileged Kenyan is my front runner...
Either way...the Democrats will take the White House in 2008!
