Happy Presidents' Day!

This year I'm gearing up for a historical primary vote and election, so today seems to hold more meaning. I have been sitting on the fence between Hilary and Obama for a long time now. One big concern is: Come November, who can beat the Republicans? A woman or an African-American? Because that's what I care about -- beating the GOP. So in the spirit of cynicism rather than voting my conscience, I'll vote for whoever will have more traction against the GOP. If y'all have any advice, I'd love to hear it.

Oh, and I apologize to my Republican readers. I'm a lifelong Dem and won't be swayed. But we can still be friends, right?

Comments

A Democratic win in November, effective health care reform,an organized end to the war in Iraq- all spelled the same way--H-I-L-L-A-R-Y.
