Look, anyone who reads here knows that I'm a Hillary gal. I'd love to see her in the Oval Office (with her own personal intern under the desk?) next year. I'm frustrated at the number of Democratic leaders who've jumped onto the Obama bandwagon.
I know I'm gonna get some wrath for this, but doesn't the guy strike you as the Democratic version of Dubya? He doesn't have a lot of experience. He's promising us pie-in-the-sky pleasantries.
He's just so durn likable. And I do like him.
I just don't want his glib smile and empty platitudes running the country.

Not quite, for a couple of reasons. First, he strikes me as a lot smarter than Dubya.
Second, Dubya isn't really running the country. He's just a front for the neocons. I would take a front for a decent group of gutsy neodems, although I don't think that's what's happening.
Frankly, I'm frustrated with both Senator Obama and Senator Clinton for their inability to stand up to the wingnuts who are destroying the country. I would support either of them, though, in the general election. (I wanted to vote for Dodd, who at least stood up on the Senate floor and ran the filibuster against telecomm immunity, which is more than any of the other candidates did.)
I tilt slightly toward Obama because he seems to be dragging a bunch of new voters along with him, and that's what we need, but if I had the power to craft my own perfect Democratic candidate, it wouldn't come out exactly like him.
At least, that's my take.
Okay, I'll give you that he's smarter than Dubya. Hell, my dog's smarter than Dubya. But still, he keeps that big-ass smile plastered on his face and yammers on about hope. Blah blah blah. I don't want that in a President. I want someone who's a little pissed off right now.
I have to pretty much echo God here.
And Bill Clinton--and I thought he was a fine president and I don't get the hatred for him at all--needs to STFU.
Still, when Hillary C. is the nominee, I wil have no qualms about voting for her.
I agree with you, 'mom, about a candidate who was pissed off. But I would be a lot happier with Clinton if she had been as pissed of at Bush as she is at Obama.
UPDATE: Maybe you're right about Obama. Have you read Paul Krugman's Op-Ed in the Times about his and Clinton's healthcare plans?
