2. Hi Dinger :)
You have every right to support Hillary Clinton. I do feel sorry for her, and I think some of this is beyond her control. If I were her, I would think long and hard about who I bring into my camp next time around if this is really over for her. By her camp, I mean her Campaign managers, etc. They have done nothing but harm her chances with their tactics. I've been calling for Hillary to enter the race for President for a few years now, and I when she did I was soooooo exited. I felt the same as you do about her experience etc, but then I started looking at other candidates as well to check her experience against theirs. She kept saying she had more experience than anyone else, so it caused me to check that. I looked at Senate records, working across the aisles, bills sponsored, bills passed etc. I came to the conclusion that I liked Obama better, he has as much experience as her, in addition he has the ability to work across both aisles in his senate record, plus his charisma, inspiration, ability to make you believe in your country again. For me, I believe we not only need someone with experience but someone with those other abilities as well regarding the state our country is in. Obama has equal experience to her, when you consider the difference in their ages, 20 years vs 35 years, when he is 46 and she is 60.

Keep in mind though, I am not against Hillary, I am for the Democratic Party. I will vote for Hillary, should Obama not win the nomination. I believe she would make a great president, and is miles and miles better than Bush and McCain. I just think that Obama would be phenomenal.

Please continue to support her until if and when the writing is on the wall, she needs that.

Peace~
