i can't make up my mind; my mind is made up
i voted for Clinton in the MoveOn poll because at the end of the day, i perceive her as being more capable, more experienced, maybe even more determined to lead forcefully. that 2/3 or more of move on members preferred Obama was enlightening.

i just finished watching the latest debate. Obama pledged no permanent bases in Iraq, and i said, "you just got my vote." Clinton spoke persuasively. She really impresses me as someone who is READY for the job, and i'm not sure i get that from Obama.

at the end they brought up the Clinton/Obama - Obama/Clinton ticket. i actually cried. real tears.

we will have a democrat in the white house, we will, we will. i love 'em both because either one is going to lift this nation out of the fucking hole the bushies have worked so long and hard to bury us in.

So: primary vote? dunno - probably whichever one is losing in the polls that day. Election vote: DEMOCRATIC ALL THE WAY!!!!!!

1. I had a friend this morning ask me about a Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton ticket.
I don't know if it will happen or not, but it would be powerful.

But, there are ways to lose in November.

4. Clinton/Obama helps Clinton.... Obama/Clinton hurts Obama....
A sizeable chunk of the Obama vote is anti-Hillary vote... if she's on the ticket with him, it will chase a fair percentage of his voters (among Indies and Repukes) away.

5. i don't think there's a way to lose the general election
there are ways it could be stolen, but not lost. just wait til the nominees are decided and that campaign begins: the repukes simply have nothing good to say. and they will be pounded by the democrats: the war, the economy, katrina, the wars, the scandals, the corruption, the war, cronyism, lack of transparency, the war, loss of civil rights, the war. the democrats will just have a field day educating the people about how republicans have run the formerly greatest country in the world into a disrespected bully. i almost wish i could be part of the campaign, but smarter and savvier people than myself will be working around the clock. and they have some dirt to dish.

i just don't think we can lose, and if another election is strong-armed or stolen i'll be rethinking my citizenship. i have increasingly felt since the neocons took over that i lost my country, and if it cannot be retrieved in 2008 then it is irretrievable in my lifetime. my opinion.

2. Teaming up makes sense- but will it really happen?
Inquiring Dems want to know!

3. HRC has blood on her hands
So does Edwards and Kerry. I don't care about that ticket. I care about the 1 million dead iraqis, the 4000 dead soldiers.

I DONT CARE ABOUT ANY TICKET, I want politicians to be held accountable for what they did.
