experience?
Since Barack Obama won the Democratic nomination (yay), I have heard of a not insignificant number of Clinton supporters who say they will end up supporting McCain in November. Their reasons include Obama’s lack of experience, although he actually has two years of elected service on Hillary Clinton. That’s if you don’t count her time as first lady. Others claim doubt about his patriotism, whether or not he wears a flag pin (do the others?) and the kind of people the media links him to. Some of those links are really stretching it while others can barely be called tenuous. Characterizing Obama’s former pastor’s views as being identical to his? That seems rather odd, even for politics. I mean, did everyone assume that McCain’s views were exactly like those wacko pastors that he chased for support? What about Romney and his Mormons? Obama and Hillary are so politically close that they had to work hard just to elaborate their differences. So why would former Clinton supporters consider moving across the aisle? Breaking it down to the basics, there is something strange about a voter that would support a candidate who holds positions that are diametrically opposed to everything they supposedly believed in while they were supporting Hillary. It’s as plain as the nose on my face. And it starts with an R.
