She probably did win favor by crying, but it's pretty
obvious it's calculated considering she never has done so before
and coincidentally the two times she had it was the day before
a crucial primary where her campaign and political career are on
the line. Honestly, the bulk of her support is from people that liked
it when Bill Clinton was president and that's all there is to it.
Case closed.
People say they like Hillary over Obama because she has more
"experience", but I think that's nonsense. Obama has been an
elected official much longer than Hillary, and even then, Hillary
has only been a senator since the end of 2000. Being first lady
doesn't count as administrative experience because she had nothing
to her name or credit during her husband's presidency except a failed
national health care plan. To give her credit for what her husband
did is ridiculous, because what's to stop Laura Bush from running
for president claiming to be the one behind all the good decisions
of his? That's why I support Obama, because of his record, admirable
life experience, brilliance, and positivity.
As for Republicans, I'd hate to be one right now. McCain has been
loathed by them for a long time because he doesn't follow the party
line (which is respectable), but at the same time he's a warhawk
that sees no problem with the USA military being in Iraq for the
next century. I respect his life and survival in Vietnam, but I
can't stand his policies on the war - a conflict with Iran would
be inevitable.
Mitt Romney is the most shameless political face I've ever observed,
and I'm so happy he's losing and wasted his tens of millions of
dollars of his own money. He's switched positions on every major
issue each time he's run for a differing office, and being an asshole
caught up with him. uckabee is pleasant to listen to but he's a religious fundamentalist.
He makes weird and disturbing comments about changing the Constituion
of the USA to "god's law" (like he knows what god wants) and denies
Darwinian evolution which makes him both a religious idiot and an uneducated one.
Ron Paul is brutally honest, likable, intelligent, and is his own man
but his domestic/economic policy proposals are some of the most laughable
nonsense I've ever heard. Deregulating corporations and having them decide
wages, safety standards, etc. with no government oversight? What bullshit
fantasy land is he dreaming of? If it's not the government people will be
dependent on, it'll be corporations and business entities whos existence
is to make a profit. Libertarians come from this idiotic school of thought
that the consumer has power over corporations and that's just not true.
A Ron Paul America would equal an Industrial Revolution era of Americans at
the mercy of corporate entities.
All in all, a Democrat will win I'm sure, although the best chance a
Republican has if they run McCain against Hillary. If Obama gets
the nomination, the election is over because he'll win it.
