The Pennsylvania primary has come and gone. Hillary Clinton won Pennsylvania by 9.3 points. There is still much hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth over the “bitter” fight for the Democratic nomination. I’m not sure it’s as big a deal as the media makes it out to be. It’s why we vote.
At the beginning of this political race, which seems like a million years ago, I was four-square behind Hillary for the nomination and to be our next president. I feel like this country is in such a mess that we need someone with strong experience. I believe Hillary is the candidate with the most experience. Yes, even more than John McCain. I have spent years applying for jobs only to be rejected for not having the experience. Why should being president be any different. Picking a candidate simply because you want someone new or because you want change are poor reasons. Look what electing a president with no experience has gotten us — George Bush.
In the last couple of months Barack Obama has been in the lead. I was a little unsure of him at first. Not much experience. But I have learned more about him and would be satisfied if he were the Democratic nominee. Both Obama and Clinton would be much better for our country than McCain.
I heard a lady on TV sum up my feelings about the Obama-Clinton dust-up. Picking between the two is like getting a million dollars – with one candidate you get it in 100-dollar bills and with the other it’s like getting it in 500-dollar bills. Either way you’re getting a million dollars. I still prefer Hillary, but Obama will be good too.
