Issues aside, the attitude Hillary Clinton's face portrays is a big problem for me. Whether true or not, she seems to have a constant, arrogant sneer on her face and it turns me away. It makes her come off as an elitist who is in love with herself. Not to mention her constant butting in.

I don't know, I actually love that Hilary sneer Big Grin

Anyways if I were voting this November she will be getting my vote. America is ready for a woman president.

As a female, I would love to see a woman in the White House, but Hillary Clinton is NOT the right woman for the job! She is smooth in her nastiness though, you have to hand it to her! It is second nature. That is only one of the reasons we don't need her in the White House...negativity and untruths.

She IS an elitist. It was interesting that she ignored Idaho completely and got soundly trounced and then decided a visit to Washington state might not be a bad idea. She only cares in the two coast America...NOT the other 48 states. Guess we ALL aren't Americans.

Hillary comes across as phony. The laugh or cackle is awful. She does tend to look down at people and appears to think that the nomination is hers by right. She also comes across as dishonest.

Thats what I have been thinking all along. She really is a complete $!%&# and it boggles me to why people would heavily support her. So think hard before you vote this fall...

I have several major turnoffs when it comes to Senator Clinton. She is manipulative, secretive and has that air that because she's been involved with the White House that she belongs there. I don't blame her for her aloofness and elusiveness; I'm sure that to run a political campaign that is necessary. But I do not believe that she is what the younger generation is looking for in leadership. She does not motivate us to support her by allowing her husband to speak for her, calling on friends of her husband for support, using her own money to finance what looks like a troubled campaign, or force debates and personal appearances with Senator Obama. This is her way of manipulating the campaign of Senator Obama, and those that support him see through it and further support him. I truly appreciate a female run for the white house, but in my opinion, she is not the one.

Seriously! The boomers and the silent generation tend to support clinton, which is no surprise. they seem to have been brainwashed to believe anything they hear and whem they make their decisions, generally not based on issues that affect america and our future, but more so on issues that concern them and only them. The Gen X and Y voters seem to have a more keen sense of someone trying to screw them or bulls#it them. Hillary always uses "I" when speaking, while Obama always uses "WE" when speaking. He understands that nothing will get done if we continue to use the "I" mentality.

Paradoxically, the newer generation is the "I" generation. We've been spoiled by the 90's and we've got our cell phones and ipods and we all subscribe to the marketing driven consumerist economy.

That said, Obama's message of "We" paradoxically resonates with young folks who become inspired and genuinely want to help! It's like he got past all of the gunk that spoiled Gen X and Gen Y and found that decency that was just ready to be channeled. Am I being too poetic? Does this describe any of your experiences?

I don't think you're being too poetic at all. I am 48 (cusp boomer), and this is EXACTLY what draws me to Obama. It's not splitting hairs over his policy differences with Clinton (these are nuanced at best), it's not her original vote on the Iraq war (she was bamboozled by the phony intelligence just like almost everyone else). It's her forcus on "I" versus his focus on "we."

Americans have gotten really comfortable with this idea that the right politicians, especially the right president, will fix all of our problems for us. So if we just pay attention at election time and make the right choice, we can all then go back to sleep while the folks in Washington make everything better. But this has clearly been an utterly failed expectation.

Hillary talks about what she is going to get done (I'm a bit skeptical about that anyway, given how divisive a figure she is in Washington). But Barack talks about what WE can all do, together, to get things done. I don't want to be spoon-fed pablum about things getting better... I want to be told what I can do to help! Barack gives me a sense that I could have some ownership in my own government and my own destiny. Frankly, I don't trust the Clintons to do that.
