Congrats to the Clinton team, however, I'm still FIRED UP
because I believe that Obama is the best candidate out there with Edwards in second.

I cannot give my support to Mrs.Clinton due to what I perceive as her lousy voting record on foreign policy which is dangerous to the national security of this country.

I'll fight to the last breath, just as I'm sure you will for your candidate.

Two down, the vote is split...
wider margin of victory to Obama overall!!
the race is only just beginning!!!!!

Good luck to us all!!

2. Except for two votes, Obama legislative record is identical to HC.
So what do you mean by "lousy?"

3. Every foreign policy vote Obama voted the same as Clinton
when he voted. But he managed to duck more votes, must not have been important or something

Project vote smart is your friend.

5. I don't have an objective scale for 'good heart'
where did you buy yours?

Far as I can see, Obama's a good salesman
But his product is a black box with no warranties, instructions, or list of contents.

6. He has spoken out on the war in Iraq and I believe that we wouldn't be there
if he would have been president. He has made that clear. I have always had an issue with cutting off total funding to the troops when they are in harms way. (I'm former military) I do want the funding tied to a timetable for withdraw so my beliefs are in line with Clinton and Obama on this score. Having said that, I believe that her kyl/lieberman vote was deplorable. That was the unforgiveable moment for me. And she sealed the deal when she tried to claim it was a diplomatic move.

Things are not always simple when analyzing a persons voting record.

In my opinion, clinton has shown poor judgment in her Iraq war vote, her failure to admit that it was a mistake, her vote on Kyl/Lieberman and her post vote spin.
