Last political post...
Mar. 4th, 2008 01:45 am..until fall, I hope. Take a look at this, if you haven't seen it already...if you're trying to flip that final coin between Clinton and Obama.
It sums up many of the reasons I voted for Barack Obama in the primary. (I have two other major reasons that can fit into a nutshell -- 1) I believe he is looking toward the future, willing to let go of old vendettas, while Senator Clinton is still defensive about the past -- and ready to crush those who caused her husband's terms such grief, and 2) I think the Republicans will do whatever they can to pull together and find a candidate to defeat Senator Clinton. Sad, but true -- she is very competent, and would make a fine president. But more healing is needed in this country before that can happen. I would support her in the general election, but Obama is my first choice.)
So -- take a look, and don't be afraid to say that one candidate actually does have higher moral courage, higher integrity -- has resisted "false and misleading statements" about his competition.

I am supposed to be writing, but obviously my writing is toast until after the caucus. Just got to face it -- I don't want another eight years of Rovean politics.
