Just a gut feeling - that's all I've got to go on.<BR/><BR/>I hope that all the young bloods who are so vociferously supporting their messiah, Obama, now will continue to get out and vote when re-election of senators and representatives comes up. They seem to think one election will solve all America's ills - that's if Obama can beat McCain. I doubt they are right.<BR/><BR/>I'm wishing now to get past this primary season as quickly as possible, it's doing my head in!<BR/>Let's hear some argument about the REAL protagonists, Republicans, not about two people both on the same side. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-6072218670307208912008-02-10T12:11:00.000-06:002008-02-10T12:11:00.000-06:00I, too, have reservations about Obama; his inexper...I, too, have reservations about Obama; his inexperience shines through remorselessly and much of his popularity, I believe, results from an acute American desire for change after the last eight years of hell. Obama is certainly change with a capital "C", but whether for the better....? As for Hillary, I see her only as a pawn of the corporates. I note many of my female readers are migrating to Hillary, and while not wishing to be in any way 'sexist', feel that may well play a part in their decision.<BR/>Frankly, right now I'll settle for anyone who isn't Republican, though I still have doubts I'll get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-58492551077996219042008-02-06T08:46:00.000-06:002008-02-06T08:46:00.000-06:00Beth - Hello!I'll take your word for that!

I wish a few more of 'em would "come out"!<BR/><BR/>I fully agree with your comment about personality above substance- it's a danger these days. So-called celebrities dominate the news here, folks can't get enough of it, and many look for a similar "buzz" from a politician. Once in a lifetime it might happen that a combination of "buzz" and competence is rolled up in the one body - I'm not sure this is that once in a lifetime though. <BR/><BR/>Hi Michelle<BR/>I understand how you feel, though I don't actually dislike him. His words just don't hit home for me - I don't believe he can do what he says he can do. I didn't have the same problem with Kucinich or Edwards. I'm finding it all very odd.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-59592349606953517602008-02-06T03:50:00.000-06:002008-02-06T03:50:00.000-06:00Moon in PIsces here... so I tend to run with intui...Moon in PIsces here... so I tend to run with intuition over logic.
