This is the Best Election Ever
February 5th, 2008Election Center 2008: Delegate Scorecard - Elections & Politics news from CNN.com
For the first time in my life, I’m torn about my vote. This is an excellent election season. I love the pragmatism of Hillary and the idealism of Barack. Even the GOP is fielding an interesting bunch. Note to conservatives: you had your chance and blew it. Maybe going fundie isn’t the way to go?
Great night of returns and speeches. First time I’ve ever been this happy this early in an election season. o

Please don’t hate me. I love both democractic potentials, in their own way. BUT. I live in the South and I come from a family of conservative, evangelical Christians and plllleaaaaasssseee people understand that Hillary Clinton would not win the nomination between herself and John McCain. I love Obama, and I think he could win, but I can say with certainty that the US is not ready for Hillary/a woman. People simply hate her. NPR this morning was talking lots about the “enthusiasm gap” that John McCain lacks. If Hillary is the dem. nominee it won’t matter that conservatives don’t love him… they will line up in DROVES to keep her out.
I’m just sayin’….

I think Amanda in post 26 has a good point, unfortunately.

I feel the exact same way! Unfortunately, I am in Pennsylvania and our Primary is not until April but I have never been so excited before. I had chills watching Obama’s speech last night. It is very exciting and refreshing. I actually watched an entire Democratic debate. The one in CA. I have never done that in my life!

now if i could combine hillary, barack, and mccain in one old(er) black, female, experienced, pragmatic, idealistic, war veteran, fiscal conservative, social liberal, neo-populist, pro environment, pro technology, wonkish, articulate, partial libertarian from arizona, i would be totally stoked.

It’s been awesome. We are supporting Obama for several reasons (I am formulating a post on it now) but it’s not like I dislike Clinton and would certainly vote for her if she takes it.

While I believe either Hillary or Obama would make a fine President, I’m downright terrified of another 4 years of president-bashing. On Super Tuesday returns on CNN, the republican analyst said “Don’t get me wrong, we’re dying to run against Hillary Clinton.” or something to that effect. As it is, I can barely stand to have an in-depth conversation with several members of my family b/c I’m a Democrat and they are fierce Republicans. If there was a civil war, we’d fight eachother. I cannot handle that, and I’m sure that’s where Hillary would send us: straight back to red v blue, etc etc. Give Obama a chance to work his magic. His ability to work with both sides, his charisma, his experience (that’s right, EXPERIENCE in the global sense of the word) will be good for our country.

I’m in the same boat. For a while there, I was debating about voting in the republican primary once my state finally rolls around, but now that Romney has decided to drop out, I’m not sure I could swallow voting for Huckabee - even as a vote against McCain.
So, where do I stand. I feel rich in knowing that a vote for either Clinton or Obama would be a-ok in my book.

Eeeewww…
I take back the somewhat charitable thoughts I had about Hillary (even though I knew I wouldn’t vote for her).
