Strange title for me. Until a couple of weeks ago I was a firm supporter of Senator Clinton and very vocal about it. What changed my mind? Bill. The more I keep seeing him on the news the more I wonder, " who's running for President again?". I really dont want to have a CO-President. I want someone that I know is in charge to be leading this country. Is that person a Clinton? I'm not sure I know anymore. Senator Obama is looking to be a very good candidate, but is he just leading in the polls because of his race? I would like to say that race doesnt matter but that would be a lie. I guess I need to do more research on my own and see what I come up with. I suggest everyone else do the same. Learn ,educate yourself, and then make the right decision. Whats right for you may not be right for me, but at least its doing something and thats what its all about. Until next time. RP

I agree. I was also all Clinton until the last couple of weeks but I keep seeing the polls showing Hillary with the largest negatives of anyone. I wonder whether a lot of people are telling pollsters they'll vote for Obama but then not do it on election day. I have to say though--Obama's inexperience bothers me. What do you think about that?

Obama's inexperience? In what lets see Sen Clinton was elected to her first public office on Nov 7 2000.And that job is in fact the one she holds now Senator from New York. And in fact Sen Obama was elected to rhe U S Sentate on Jan 4 2005 that was not his first public office. He in fact was in the Illinois State Senate for 8 years before that. So if we are going to go on the fact of inexperince then maybe we should be looking at Senator Clinton and not Senator Obama's, who has in fact been an elected official longer then she has.

Ok--but it gets a little dicey here. I think a lot of people figure Bill's political experience counts for Hillary as well. Bill was elected Attorney General in Arkansas in 1976 and Governor in 1978. I'm not necessarily promoting Hillary, I'm just saying that's where a lot of people are coming from when they talk about her having a lot more experience. Your feelings about a co-Clinton presidency are probably on target. In fact, a lot of people thought Hillary played too prominent a role in Bill's presidency.

Did you hear that the Obama campaign is having a spaghetti supper tomorrow night. If you want the details check out Tarrant County Texas for Obama.
