Yup - your 'radical feminist 'lesbian' ex girlfriend' says she'll probably vote Obama. Why? I don't trust her. She's got something up her sleeve most of the time, and if I voted her in it would be just BECAUSE she's a woman. We saw how that worked with Thatcher in England... But I am considering your comments. They are valid. Still, I think Obama can handle himself. I am sure he knows he won't be able to simply reach out a hand in friendship. Still... I'm on the fence.Kimberly Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11140927975473166684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298870015314386479.post-38366603493984699762008-02-06T12:54:00.000+01:002008-02-06T12:54:00.000+01:00I'm not a citizen of the US, but i see a lot of se...I'm not a citizen of the US, but i see a lot of sense in what you have said.

Even if I trusted Hilary Clinton - which I don't - I think you're missing a big point on what you refer to as the 'likeability' front.<BR/><BR/>While you're right that Hilary won't get many (if any) Republican votes, the key is that Obama is likely to get some. perhaps many, depending on who their candidate is. Obama's appeal is much broader than Clinton's. She appeals to the core Democrats, Obama appeals to more Republican voters as well as independents.<BR/><BR/>As I said before, I simply don't trust Hilary. I can't vote for Hilary. I won't vote for Hilary. But as a mddle of the road Independent, I could, and probably would, vote for Obama over the Reoublican candidate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
