I've been following the whole process from here..... given that I would surely be a Dem if I lived in the States all I can say is- THANK GOODNESS I don't live in the States right now. As I really wouldn't know which to pick, to be honest.
First of all both are only nuances apart in their programs........ and programs, schmograms- in the end programs are one thing, following through and/ or changing them are other issues once the elections are over.
So the political stance wouldn't help me choose.
Then there is the first female president vs. first black president issue.
I think it is time for either. So no help here, too.
So for me it would come down to personal likes..... sympathy. And while I wish I could say I'd vote for the fellow female I am not really fond of Hillary- for many reasons. Yes, she may have more experience in politics- but not only of the positive kind. I also just can't get a positive feel for her and can't even say why.
Obama- well, by now there is too much of a hype around him for me to feel comfortable liking him.......as, after all, he IS the less experienced of the two and seems a bit TOO optimistic for me.
So in the end- 1:1 on program, 1:1 on groundbreaking gender/race, -1:-1 on personal liking.
Thank God I don't have to choose!!!
