Hillary Clinton
Let me give you my bias up front so you can better judge what I'm about to write. I spent my early life as a Democrat (ie. John and Bobby Kennedy and Nelson Rockefeller), but most of my adult life as a Republican. George Bush has greatly disappointed me and Hillary Clinton is the LAST person I want to see as president. So, am I left with Barack Obama?
I have no problem with a woman president. I have a big problem with Hillary as that woman president!
While lying seems to go with almost all politicians (a few really are honest), it's a character trait (flaw) with Hillary and that's only a small part of the baggage that I don't want to see carried back into the White House as representative of us. Nor can I see a continuance of the Bush policies which McCain will surely advance (especially regarding war).
Why does McCain prefer running against Hillary?
Camille Paglia has asked a rhetorical question to which I feel the answer is obvious. Here question "Is Hillary Clinton the savior of feminism? Or its albatross, dragging feminism backwards under a weary weight of old-guard victimology and male-bashing?" For me the answer is the latter. Hillary would do more to set back not only America, but also feminism.
Gals, you don't need Hillary Clinton as your first representative in the White House!
Many women have seized the feminist banner to proclaim Hillary the messianic Wonder Woman, destined to smash the glass ceiling of the presidency. The only wonder for me is how so many people cannot see through to her soul as she runs from sniper fire in Bosnia.
Hillary's voter base consists of middle-aged to elderly white women who identify with her caustic, stubborn, bulldog resilience. Humiliated and upstaged by her philandering husband, Hillary is the champion of an army of women who were stymied, betrayed or outmanoeuvred by men. And when polling showed she had seemed too harsh to the caucus-goers of Iowa, she rolled out teary eyes for New Hampshire, which handed her a primary victory.
Hillary will scratch, claw, and morph through every gender trick if it rakes in votes. She has learned not only from the best of politicians, she the wife to him as well! And despite her reputation for brilliance, she failed the Washington, DC bar exam. Thus her migration to Little Rock was not simply a selfless drama for love; she was fleeing the capital where she had hoped to make her mark.
For me Hillary simply carries too much baggage and I'd rather we be faced with the prospects of either McCain or Obama than McCain or Hillary! I think many of the superdelegates are coming to that same conclusion. Or at least the tide is certainly going out and away from the toxic Hillary.
