Hillary Clinton has been fighting the good fight for 30 years. She played a major role in getting her husband elected and re-elected and helped achieve those 8 years of peace and prosperity.
I am not supporting her for President. There was a dark side to those 8 years that I'd rather not return to. There are things about her that I don't entirely trust, and people who are better informed about these things and have worked with the Clintons for years are supporting Barack Obama.
But that doesn't mean that I don't appreciate all she's done, or that I'm enjoying watching her slow slide.
I just pointed, clicked and donated to Barack Obama's campaign. But still, I admire how hard Hillary Clinton has worked, how earnest she has been, how bravely she's put herself out there for us to judge, and I feel bad for her tonight.
I guess that's how the Dems and the Republicans differ this year. I have been satisfied with both my choices. They don't seem particularly happy with any of theirs.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I watched the election results tonight once again.. missing American Idol once again.
ReplyDeleteI've been an Obama supporter since the beginning.
I respect what she's done because she's a strong woman but even if I'm not american. I am supporting the democrat and my man Obama. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for her also, but I hope that Obama can stand up to the Republicans. They fight dirty and are relentless.
