I love politics. In fact, if it weren’t for politicians, I’d probably be in politics. Politicians are so focused on getting and keep their job that they rarely ever do their job. I don’t have anything specifically against Hillary Clinton. If by some chance she does come out ahead of Obama, I will probably vote for her over John McCain (sadly for McCain, for the shear fact that I disagree with him about the Iraq War). However, there are a few reasons why I voted for Baroccoli Obama:

  1. I think Bill Clinton was a pretty good president. And even though I would have no problem with another Clinton-like president, I don’t want another Clinton. Keep in mind that I was born just a couple of weeks before Reagan was sworn in. Since I was barely 8 when he left office, all I’ve really ever known is Bush-Clinton-Bush. I’m ready for a change.
  2. It seems like George W. Bush has been in a constant competition to prove that he is a better president than his father was (as if the bar was set very high). This has resulted in a number of ego-boosting actions that were/are not in for the good of the country. Imagine how much more Hillary Clinton, the first female president and the wife of a former president, would feel an internal drive to prove that she is a better president than, not only her husband, but ever other president in history. I’m not presuming that she is that kind of person, because I’ve never met her. I do think it is a legitimate concern.
  3. Clinton uses an absolutely ridiculous argument that she won some key battleground states that are expected to decide the general election. Can you imagine how ridiculous a quarterback would sound if he told everyone how his team would go undefeated because they beat their own defense during a couple of scrimmages? Maybe somebody should tell Hillary that she was playing against the same team. It seems pretty presumptuous to think that just because she beat the other Democrat she was running against that all of those Democrats that voted for her are going to jump to McCain’s ship if her name isn’t on the ballot. She specifically points to Latinos. Even with McCain’s history on immigration, the Republicans are probably still going to try to use it as a talking point this election to try and win back congress. When that happens, every Latino that goes to vote is definitely going to vote Democrat no matter who’s name is on the ballot.
  4. Ugly pant suits.
  5. Vader-like hair.

But honestly, until Diebold releases their code it doesn’t really matter who runs against the Republican’ts.
