"He may be an empty suit but his attributes may be enough for all the ignorant masses that want change."

The risk of Clinton winning is too great to risk. You have to consider the possibility that her Republican opponent would be assassinated or that she could pull a series of October Surprises that might push her over the top. There is no reason to believe that she is not capable of any dishonest act to attain power.

The only thing that she could do that would surprise me is to peacefully leave the Whitehouse if she made it there.

I would rather take a substantial risk that Obama is elected than have any chance that Hillary makes it to the Whitehouse.

On the other side I don't think Hilary can win the Presidential election and Obama just might be able to. I would almost rather run against her and her truckload of negatives. Obama is good looking, likable, articulate. He may be an empty suit but his attributes may be enough for all the ignorant masses that want change.

Wise words in retrospect.
