Some vote for Hillary because she is tested woman whereas Obama is naive.<BR/><BR/>But how much of our electoral choices are built on identity to self and not the policies the cadidate espouse?<BR/><BR/>One reason I will never vote for McCain is that when you elect a president, you get that person's whole team, one person does not run the whole government, but brings an infrastructure with them. Team "R" in its current incarnation needs to be destroyed.<BR/><BR/>In that same perspective, is it better to vote for "Obama and the team he brings and appoints" or "Hillary and the team she brings and appoints". It's not just "Obama" and "Hillary".Jankohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17141703042787916263noreply@blogger.com
