You could be right she'd be more centrist (which is a reason I don't like her as much :-) Bill was pretty centrist- and of course not liberal enough for me, in some ways.

I also just plain don't like Hillary- but likability doesn't play a big part in my calculus. I'd like to see what Obama can do- as Bill Murray says in Groundhog Day "Anything different is good"

Now of course not EVERYTHING different is really good (hat tip to Michelle Obama for making me want to add "really" to every sentence) but I wanted to work that quote in.

"Sheesh....if either one of them just gets us out of the expense of Iraq and stems the hemorrhaging of the budget with a few targeted tax increases, I'll be happy enough."

Kate - the challenge will be the new spending programs proposed by both Hillary and Barack. Geting out of Iraq and few tax increases in a recession - will likely leave us still in a deficit.

All talk is that new revenue will go to new programs. Deficit?
