I don't know why I'm so into following the American election this year. I can't even vote in it. Well I used to study political science so I have an interest in these things.
If you've been reading my journal you know that I'm a big fan of Obama. Integrity, intelligence empathy etc. For me he is a very obvious choice...
What I wanted to write was that I've been looking around on political blogs and forums and I'm noticing that most of the comments that speak for Clinton are the idiot kind. You know what I mean...all in caps and one hundred exclamation marks. These people contribute to my conviction that Clinton is a bad choice.
So I was wondering if any of you Clinton supporters out there would like to reply here and tell me why you think she's the one. I'm guessing I will end up disagreeing with you on this, but still I refuse to believe that all the support behind Clinton is the idiot kind. I would love to see some reason :P
My boyfriend and I have had discussions about Clinton vs. Obama.
I really don't think Clinton should be the next president. While both of the candidates would be a decent-sized step for the US, I believe a female president in office is a much, much larger step for the country; race shouldn't even matter. But I don't think Clinton is the right woman to be the first. There will be so much pressure on her, and if there is one slip up, the country will just use that as "proof" to form the generalization that women don't belong in office. It would take such a long time for people to vote a woman in again. Not to mention the fact that I would just rather see Obama as the president than Clinton.
