Obviously, I am done with my dissertation examination. YEAH!!!
So I have been half listening to the election coverage and am particularly uninterested in the battle for democratic nomination. The question of who would be worse is one that has rolled around in my mind.
First off, some have said that Hilliary is more beatable than Barack so we should hope she wins. I personally wouldn't bet $2 that the republicans have a shot this round (especially if McCain gets the nom.) so to me the democratic primary is the question of who gets to be our next president.
On one hand it is difficult to imagine anything being worse than Hilliary Clinton. She has the wrong stance on all the issues and a personality to match. I really can't stand her.
Barack Hussein Obama however is so much fluffier. He has all the wrong ideas but their is still a question as to whether he has the grit to get anything done. It is possible that the fluffiness will continue into the presidency and he will maintain the present policy of spinning his image all the time. That, in my opinion, would be a good thing. First of all, it would minimize the damage that would be done. More importantly, it would disillusion and dishearten the ultra left and particularly the younger population of democrats (who make up a large portion of the Obama swell). This would put the left in the same position many conservatives find themselves in this go round. Disappointed with politics in general and there own party in particular. Of course, Obama may be able to enact some of his bad ideas but is it really possible that he could do more damage than Clinton? I personally doubt it. The only charge that can be made against him in particular is in regards to his Islamic heritage. However, I really don't see that as valid as he is clearly pretty darn liberal and a good Muslim would actually be more conservative that us (in a legalistic way). He may be as Muslim as John Kerry is Catholic but I doubt any more (if that much).
So between the two, I like the idea of Obama better than the Clintonator. What do you think?
