I proudly cast my Texas vote for Sen. Obama this morning and in my opinion Sen. Clinton

[Redbear]

is not

a liar,
a bitch,
a traitor,
despicable,
trying to destroy the Democratic Party,
a supporter of John McCain,
a racist, or
a Joe Lieberman

and those Obama supporters who say these things make me very sad. I hope they will stop.


For what its worth, the final factors in making my decision were a clearer view of foreign policy direction from Sen. Obama and the endorsement of Sen. Dodd.

1. How was turnout? What area of the state?

[Redbear]

7. Central Texas and turnout was moderate this AM- my precinct tends to vote late

It was amusing because the woman ahead of me didnt know if she was supposed to vote in the Democratic or Republican primary. She just knew that she was there to vote for Barack Obama

[superkia]

16. Thats awesome that people that arent even into politics are...

actually getting involved in their country and trying to make some much needed change. You should have commended her for doing something, many people have given up.

3. My goodness - a reasonable way to decide to vote for Obama - even if I disagree - Congrats!

[democrattotheend]

4. Glad you decided on Obama

And I agree with you that some Obama supporters on here are a little overzealous, as are some Clinton supporters.

6. I canceled out his vote.

Hillary 1 BO 1

[Redbear]

8. Glad to see both candidates getting support. (n/t)

[tekisui]

10. A nail-biter, it's so close.

:)

[Hawkeye-X]

14. Actually you didn't. He has a early 12%+ lead that Hillary herself can't cancel out.

That was done by early voting.

[BigDDem]

18. What do you base that on?

Please provide link, thanks!

[Hawkeye-X]

24. I'm unable to provide you a link at this time - but I promise to correct it

if I am wrong.

I am leaving for work, so I will try to find you a link.

[book_worm]

12. I wish some of our people would also point out that it's not just Obama people who

engage in name calling.

[JVS]

13. I beg to differ. She is several of those things.

But you are entitled to your opinion

[Oleladylib]

15. is this the ole "takes one to know one" tune...Betchya!

[BigDDem]

20. Since you called her an "asshole" in another thread

we know your feelings.
Another BO class act.

[0007]

17. I'll second that choice.............n/t

[JKaiser]

19. One reason I don't like Obama is because of the Hillary bashers on here

[yellerpup]

21. Vote for Change!

Chris Dodd influenced my support of Obama also.

[snooper2]

22. She is a corporate whore like Lieberman, McCain, Bush,

And just about everyone else in Washington....

I voted last week for Obama and will caucus tonight!


GOBAMA!

[Redbear]

26. Both candidates support universal healthcare, raising the miniumum wage, making

the first $3500 of college tution tax deductible, increasing funding for Head Start, cancer research, renewable energy research etc.

Not exactly corporate policies.

[mmonk]

23. Ah, someone using reason instead of rhetoric.

Very good. I applaud all people who approach it this way no matter who you vote for.

[grantcart]

25. let us know about your caucus
