So I’m still divided on exactly who should get my vote in the upcoming Texas primary.
On the one hand, Hillary has the experience of leadership and the institutional support to get things done. (Never mind the fact that I still don’t think she can do half of what she promises because of the typical Washington game.) But on the other hand I think Obama is very inspiring and can lift the emotions of many Americans. But, again, I don’t think he can get a lot done in the current political climate — mainly because he lacks the experience.
And then, there is the GOP field. John McCain is not a REAL Republican. Or at least he is not a REAL Republican in the sense that Bush 1 & 2 were Republicans because they pandered to the neo-conservative religious right of the party. With McCain as the nominee-apparent, it becomes increasingly hard for me to support Clinton. A Clinton/McCain race means that the moderates of the GOP and conservative independents are left with one choice: McCain. A Obama/McCain race means that the moderates and independents are split between the two candidates and absent the religious elements of the GOP, McCain has little support in November.
My ultimate dream would be a Clinton-Obama ticket!
