What each candidate inspires in me
At one time I was neutral and supportive of all the candidates and only hoped the one best able to beat the Republican candidate would win. Then I found that the two finalists both inspired emotions and feelings, in me.

Obama- The man inspired hope and excitement. Hope for a better kind of politics and a better Country. Hope that Obama could be a very special leader that helps right this Country's course


Hillary- Starting with her false brochures accusing Obama of being soft a woman's right to chose, she started inspiring anger. Then as she continued to use more and more of the tactics of Karl Rove (that I have complained about and was angered about, for years) that anger grew more intense. She also began to inspire disgust and outrage. When I saw her comments and lies and self rightous "shame on you" it just inspired the most intense anger and outrage.

In the end both candidates have proved they can inspire me. Obama inspires what I consider the best in me. Hillary inspires the worst in me. In the end is there really any question in who I have to support?

5. I decided honesty was more important than balance
What can I tell you, that is what each of them inspires in me.
