The Vote (first of many to come I bet)

[dalthauser]

I just did the www.votehelp.org questionnaire.  Great site.  It was no surprise that my top 5 candidates were democrats.  

I was a little surprised that Hillary Clinton was #1.  The things we did not agree on were not an that much of an issue or issues I didn't really know a great deal about.

Barak Obama was #2

Dennis Kucinich was #4, and I "like" him the best (no, it's not because he's a vegetarian...) :-)

I"m so hoping we don't get another block head this time around.  Seriously.

Nearly all my lj friends are women; some right of center, most to the left. Yet nearly all are opposed to Hillary. I'm not suggesting that if you are a woman you have to support Hillary. But it seems almost the opposite.

My mother, is a dyed in the wool Democrat; yet i know she doesn't want to have to vote for the woman.

We need Dennis in there bringing up points no one else will touch.

My general dislike for Hillary is irrational. Maybe it's that she's too much of a "politician" for me. She doesn't come across as truly sincere, empathetic, warm.... I'm not sure how to describe it. My gut (which could very well be wrong) tells me she's not "for the people" (people being the working class average joe). That's why I was a little taken aback when I saw I agreed so much with her.

This doesn't mean I won't vote for her; if she won the democratic nomination I'd vote for her over a republican. There are plenty of republican candidates I like as human beings, but their platform I cannot swallow. I love John McCain, but I don't think he would be a good leader for our country at this time.
