What is the misogynist bias so many of the 35ers have against Hillary??? Here's a woman who stuck with her husband, raised a great kid, did her own career, special interests, etc., without "living through the husband's success!" She's very bright, humorous and loyal; a highly effective political power...
Obama is a nice young man who is being given a pass in his oddly inept choice of mentors (not just Wright, but that mortgage funding neighbor under indictment). He has borrowed so many of H's ideas, and yet he lacks any evidence of being able to implement them. The health plan he considers as universal absolutely will fail. Moving out of Iraq on a time table is about like trusting a commander in chief and going to war in the first place: doesn't hindsight teach him anything but bragging about his initial safe vote? And where, or at least who, are the wise advisors waiting in the wings? One would think he's going to do this change thing with millions of young first time voters. Take a moment to look at the only JFK attainment, the Peace Corps, that he abandoned under duress of other leadership stress, yet it was carried forward by another wealthy Democrat--and endures even when succeeding presidents are not supportive. How is Obama going to get anything done?? Maybe the media will step forward, but I'd guess their pleasure lies in cataloging failures, real or ginned up for "breaking news."
Perhaps it's too embarrassing to youngsters to consider that moms are capable as well as nurturing. After all, to become adult means it must be necessary to kick old Mom aside. Is that the explanation? Neither of the other two candidates (B.O. and McC) offer anything except their own egocentric limitations (I was born an agent for change--tell me again how one chooses that?) (My grandfather and my father and I were all Navy--so what's the rest of the world outside a ready-made formula for staying with the pack?)
Good luck, guys. We really would be better off in this highly complex international structure and its failing villages with someone who can multi-task. Fortunately, she's still running.

The surrogates spent most of their time arguing that Clinton can beat McCain because she has shown she can triumph in crucial Purple States like Pennsylvania and Ohio. They asserted that the popular vote is a fairer measure of success than a pledged-delegate lead. And they continued to demand that Michigan and Florida votes be counted. "Why should Hillary Clinton be denied the votes when Senator Obama actually signed an affadavit that removed his name from Michigan's ballot?" Granholm asked. "She chose to stay on the ballot. There was no requirement that he remove his name." Granholm added that once Michigan voters are counted it will be clear that Clinton "received more of the popular vote than any candidate in this race and that to me, that to all of us, should be a sign to the superdelegates that she, in fact, is the strongest candidate to win."
Clinton's team says that voters seem to share their electability concerns. Spokesman Mo Elleithee said that since last night's "decisive" win in Pennsylvania, which he pointed out was the campaign's third "big state" victory in a row, Clinton's team has raised millions. "We are on track within the 24 hours following the primary to raise 10 million dollars," Elleithee said. "There is definite movement right now. The wind is definitely at our back." Will superdelegates think so? That's a math problem with no answer yet. Three more supers declared today: two for Obama and one for Clinton.
