My gut tells me Obama is a scary sob and I simply refuse to vote for him. Thank god or somebody that we live in America where we can still vote for whomever we choose and we can debate that vote in forums like this one.

Peace to all.

I think politically, they are probably very close on most issues, but I think Ms. Clinton’s “baggage,” which she acknowledges will make it almost impossible for her to push throough her legislative agenda.

I honestly think the GOP will filibuster every single thing Clinton wants, and will be able to blame her for it. Unfortunately, the GOP hate machine has been able to tar Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton th the taint of scandal, treachery, skullduggery, and evil.

It’s all nonsense, of course, but these things have stuck to her. If Obama is elected, (and I believe he will be with a large majority), I think he can walk into office with the aura of a healer, teacher, uniter, etc. If the voters put him into office riding a wave of momentum, the GOP is going to have an extremely tough time putting that genie back in the bottle.

I was an Edwards supporter, before he bowed out of the race. (His appearance on Colbert the other night was fantastic — please put that man in the cabinet.) When Edwards quit, I switched to Obama, not because I disliked Clinton, but because I felt Obama did not have the baggage Clinton did.

As the primaries have dragged on, I have become disappointed in the Clinton campaign for its scorched earth policy. I realize that some will say that in politics, you do what it takes to win. But, if you truly think your party’s ideas are better than the other party’s ideas, you don’t spend months tearing down the likely nominee from your party.

As to traci’s “gut” comment, I think too many gut pulls of the election lever in 2000 and 2004 got us where we are now, which ain’t good.

The gut is a great thing, but we are human beings. We are self-aware. Racism, sexism, homophobia are “gut reactions” that can be internalized through years of conditioning, but we are human beings. We are supposed to be able to rise above that.

Anyway.

Why?

Because there is something about Barach Obama that is just creepy. I look at him and my insides literally crawl. With all of my life experiences, I’ve learned to trust my radar, my ‘gut’, for lack of a better word. I have no idea whether he’d make a good president or not. I only know that I will never vote for him and if he wins the nomination, I’ll have to root for someone else.
