Reply #5: Like many, I assumed she was the "inevitable" nominee

Basically, I looked at my choice as voting for the lesser of 2 evils. I didn't want to be subjected to 4-8 more years of Clenis jokes and all that crap that comes with the Clinton dynasty and the regular old faces, Lanny Davis et al, but was willing to endure if it meant getting the repukes out of office.

However, when Obama caught on I was excited to have a new fresh intelligent face, along with a fresh new team. Not because I hated Hillary but I just want a real change that can only come from someone with new ideas and not a ton of baggage like the Clinton's.

Nothing to do with hate. Everything to do with wanting a new brand of politics. Unfortunately, any opposition to Hillary has been interpreted as hate.
