43. I'm 35 - my partner and I have been together for 13 years
Edited on Tue Feb-05-08 10:48 AM by Politicub
I entered the workforce during the Clinton years, and it was a good, prosperous time in American history. I never got that hung up on the Monica Lewinsky thing, so that didn't turn me off from the Clintons. And before I get replies about some of the negatives from the Clinton era, it was still many times better than any republican admin I've lived through.

Supporting Hillary was an easy choice for me. She's always been there for LGBT folks as long as I've followed politics, and that's one of the many reasons why I support her. Two additional reasons are I believe she has the tenacity to deliver universal healthcare as well as stand up to the republican attacks that are sure to come during the general election.

Plus, I generally just like her. She makes me feel good about being an American, and embodies the possibilities that we have for making progressive choices to bring about a better tomorrow.

On edit: I've been involved since I was 18 or so. My first vote for president was Bill Clinton in 1992! And I proudly voted for another Clinton today in the GA primary.
