Obama v. Clinton, No Cage Match There
So, the Democratic debates. Whew. I might need a cigarette.
I sat on the edge of my seat watching, analyzing, and deciding. It was a great debate. Wolf Blitzer called it a “conversation”, and that’s what it was really. Since Kucinich dropped out my vote has been up in the air. I’ve leaned more towards Obama, though Clinton did have a place in my heart. Who to choose, who to choose…
I think Clinton really shined tonight. She let down her guard and was herself. Open, funny, and smart. And her laugh! Not political at all, but I love the sound of her laugh. It’s so full and real. I really feel that a lot of undecideds were swayed by her tonight.
However, it was Obama that took my vote. Issue for issue he leans closer to my personal views that Clinton does. She is more moderate, almost leaning too much towards the right for me. His views on the environment, the war, and education really set things apart for me. With health care I tend to agree more with Clinton, but I can certainly see his side of the issue.
Amanda has a much better post up explaining why she’s turned to the Obama side.
Next up – Super Tuesday.

Everyone around me is going to get tired of hearing me say this, but I really wish they’d flip a coin to decide who gets to run as President and who gets to be Vice President and start running together. I’d love to see them together, and when Wolfy asked them about that I was wishing so hard that they’d both say yes.

I was sold on Obama, after reading Dreams of My Father. This is one good guy.
