... switching over to Obama.
Not sure if anyone cares. But here are some thoughts of someone who does not consume any news from the MSM (gave up TV long ago), proudly wore a rosie the riviter/ Hillary "We can do it" T-shirt, loved and miss both Dennis Kucinich and John Edwards, and currently supports Barack Obama for the nomination.
Let me start out, Hillary is great. She is smart, her heart in in the right place, she'd make a great leader, and she's right on a lot of issues (not as right as DK or Edwards.. but still.)
But most of that can be said for Obama as well. But he also seems to have a certain inspirational quality. Now, I'm a big cynic, and, well, not easily inspired, but I've checked out speeches by all the dems, and no one creates excitement like Obama. I think thats what we need. Is he another JFK? I don't know, he was before my time. Could he be? I think with some party unity, maybe so.
I don't know, chalk me up as another starry eyed 20-something for Obama. But my dream ticket is Obama/Clinton '08. We need excitment. And Hillary could still do a lot of great things, and give some needed experience, from the VP slot.
Let's embrace the excitment and fervor following Obama. No more stupid cult labels, lets not pick on what can be a great asset for our party. Also, enough with the Hillary bashing. We've heard plenty of it for years from the repubs. She is a great american with a great passion for women's issues that has been lacking in other candidates.
So, let the MSM call it a love fest. Let's support both condidates. When it comes time for you to vote in your states primary, make your choice as you see fit.
