Bill Clinton was our greatest president since 1960. He's not what the Obama folks are portraying him as. He doesn't smear or cheat. Sometimes he just spins.

Obama himself is an unknown. He may be great, may be a total bust, no one knows. All we do know is that he's brilliant and charismatic and makes great speeches. Wew also know he has 80% of the most liberal wing of the party behind him.

But we know a lot more about the Clintons. We know that they know how to run a government and an economy. Are they perfect to progressives? No. They are centrists and compromise quite a bit in the middle. Does Bill have a perfect character? No. But does that make him any less of a great president? Not really. Especially compared to the nightmare that's been the GW Bush years.

Is Hillary my favorite? No. I am for Edwards. I was leaning Obama but all this attacking of Clinton has turned me off. But I would still support Obama 110% and have been defending him from the racists on the right.

I don't have to love the Clintons, I respect the Clintons and know they will do a fine job. It's also a fact that Hillary might already have the nomination in the bag. And like it or not but it was Bill's attacks on the new "kid wonder" Obama which knocked him down a notch and allowed Hillary top regain support and win New Hampshire and Nevada. So maybe Bill knows what he's doing.
