I am by no means politically oriented but my husband's family is staunch republicans so I have taken incredible heat the past few years from them for working for an company whose mission is very environmentall alogned. They call me a tree hugging democrat which I am not. I vote for who I like and I can tell you I haven't found one yet who has my vote.
I think Obama has a good chance but realistically what do we know about him? He has not been in the political arena that long and I am not convinced he is sincere.
Hilary - well some people say she ran the show when Bill was in office. I think she has great potential and I believe she really does care about our country. It probably is heart breaking to see the shape of our economy do a complete 180 from when Bill left office and ding dong is ending his term. yes ding dong- as i said - inlaws are republican and they gave me a VERY hard time about not voting for him in the second election - hMMMM....guess who's laughing now!
I don't know much about Republicans but I saw Mitt Romney on Nightline one night and what I saw gave me the creeps. He was came across as very argumentative and all-knowing. It gave me flashbacks to when my state (MN) had Jesse Ventura as governor. He was flapping his gums about immigrants. I don't have a problem with them - as long as they are legal but from what I gathered he does.
I am not sure about McCain but of the Republicans he is the one who has the most appeal. We need to remember that we need someone in office who is going to be able to change our country, get our economy back on track and be able to not piss off the rest of the world like ding dong seems to be good at doing. I think Hilary could do it but with her being a woman in other parts of the world that may hurt us.
