When it comes to the voting this fall, the issues outweigh the personalities for me, so I will be voting for the Democratic nominee. Too many urgent issues need changing. The fact that Hillary can't seem to generate any positive press except for her tough campaign style is telling, IMHO. She doesn't inspire many people to like her outside her camp of supporters. If she had lower negatives, she would have trounced Obama on Super Tuesday and swept him out of the way. Talk about someone who "can't close the deal" after starting out as the sole superpower in the party and the race. The difference between Hillary and Bill is that a lot of people liked Bill, the aw-shucks smile and passion that came through in his speeches. Hillary most definitely does not have that reserve of affection to fall back on. Like GWB, she might get in by 50.x% but she will struggle after that with half the country basically disliking her, even in her own party. For me, that is a poor recipe for a presidency.

Katelew; Also, the press and segments of her own party work diligently to put her in the worst possible light, i.e. portray her in a negative way. And no positive commentary anywhere. Why? This argument makes no sense. Do you think there is a conspiracy out there because she is a woman? If so why? I would love to vote for a woman - but I will NOT vote for Hillary. If you suggest I am voting this way because of the press - you are calling me stupid. So stupid I can't decide for myself what a candidate stands for. It is this constant whining and snivelling that it "is the presses fault" that drives me crazy. It is demeaning and insulting. Remember Katelew, the more educated you are the more likely you are to vote Obama. You think the educated are the stupid people? steve
