Who for president?
Here at home the presidential race is taking up most of the news. John McCain has sewn up the republican nomination. That doesn’t really matter becuase surely the American people won’t choose another republican president this soon.
What is important to me is the democrates choice. I have been a supporter of Hilary Clinton from the beginning. It seems to be very close as to who will have enough delegates to carry them through. I think Ms. Clinton is best suited to run the country at this time. And I must admit the idea of a female president is pretty exciting.I believe Barack Obama could do the country some good too but I also think maybe he needs a little bit more experience first. However I also think a president just a little short in experience is better than a president who will just keep the whole country on the same path as it has been for the last two election cycles.
I am married and the mother of six (yes, six!) grown children. I live in western Washington where it does rain a lot but not as much as you think.

Don’t you think that Barack Obama might be a good change of pace for the country? I just don’t think that Hillary can ignore all of the people that have supported the Clintons through the years and really make groundbreaking changes without losing many friends in industry and politics. Obama isn’t restricted by those ties. But I think either candidate winning over McCain would be a step ahead for the U.S.

On the other hand, those friends and supporters may be a big help to this country. I don’t think this country unduly suffered by Bill Clinton’s supporters and Hilary would have many of the same friends. Again, I think Obama could be on the way to a presidential career but I question whether he is ready just yet.
