32. Several reasons. And who else in there left to support. Obama does not speak to me...
Edited on Sat Apr-26-08 02:47 PM by annie1
i don't have faith in him as a politician, or even as a uniter, (even though i'm really not hell bent on that as a platform in the first place), and i'm not looking for a change in washington. i like sen. clinton's policy wonki-ness, that's why i loved gore and b. clinton. that's why i liked biden. I also liked Dodd and Gravel. But Obama does nothing for me. i like hearing clinton talk about a woman's right to choose at her town meetings as deeply rooted in privacy, citing the former soviet union sending government agents to follow women around making sure they bore children. etc, etc, etc, etc. ANd i like her take on children in the foster care system, etc. I've watched Obama in debates, and town hall meetings and his speeches and commercials. i was certainly open to him since the beginning. Early on when he made personal attacks on hillary's marriage i was uneasy about that, but was still open to him. and yet he has still not garnered any interest from me. I will support who i believe in, and who i would like to be my president. i believe that she can still win the popular vote. i do not appreciate the favoritism by the media for barack, i do not want him shoved down my throat by pelosi and dean, and least of all Kerry. I cannot get behind him because he has nothing to do with me. A little too lofty and vague for me. Hillary has her number of flaws, but I choose HER, and will not have a nominee forced on me when 9 states have yet to vote.
