Hillary supporter, yes but
I'm still supporting Hillary just to be honest, but my thinking on the electability of Obama is starting to change.

As things stand right now, I'm beginning to think the American people might just be fed up enough with our current disastrous path, to over look their fear and prejudice to elect Obama.

In my mind I was absolutety convinced we are not there yet, but I'm beginning to believe I was wrong. I always hoped I was wrong.

I'm a child of the 60's and we fought hard for this, I think it would be a victory for my generation, and the country, and the world if america said yes.

I'm still going to look hard and if things change then so might my thinking on my position.

I'm not an undecided voter as I will vote dem no matter what.

1. The fear and prejudice factor is big
I also have concerns that fear might play a large factor in the upcoming elections. I guess we have a candidate for all kinds of bigotry, sexism and racism.

3. I think the fear and prejudice is exacty what must be overcome
in this nation and now is a golden opportunity to move this society one giant step forward. Yes, we can because we must. We must not settle for the same entrenched system. It is time to think outside the box. Keeping the same old players right where they are wmeans we will be running in place. I am certain of one thing, that an Obama administration would mean bringing new faces to DC.

4. new faces
Definitely some new faces, but also I think we would recognize many of them.

The new faces feeds into the unknown, fear of the unknown, but damn people in this country aren't supposed to be cowards.

6. Word on the street tells me only way Repugs will win is through theft, or
marshal law.
