I'm disappointed in the Buckeye State because despite all the polls and all the people who knew better than I, I believed that Ohio would deliver for Obama. I'm disappointed because I'm tired of divisive politics; of a Washington so divided that
nothing gets done and I can't shake the notion that Hillary loves that environment, thrives in that environment, needs that environment to succeed; and the fear that a Clinton in the White House again will ratchet the stakes so high that the last eight years will look like Ball Tag by comparison.
Time.com agrees:
It's a simple fact of Clinton family politics: they do better in a scrape. Combat brings them to the balls of their feet. They spring their leaks in calm seas...
Hillary Clinton survived Tuesday night — taking Rhode Island and Ohio, while Texas teetered into the morning. Naturally, she did it by picking a few fights. She bludgeoned Barack Obama with a ringing phone and repeated questions about toughness, but saved her biggest punches for her most dependable sparring partner: The Media. (emphasis mine)
So I'll remain on the Obama bandwagon and I'll remain optimistic and hopeful that whoever is the Democratic nominee will be able to beat John McCain.
You know, right now I'm so disgusted with the Clintons I don't think I can, in good conscience, cast a vote for her, and I'm deadly serious about that. I'm sick of this whole attitude that she has some God-given right to be the nominee, and I'm sick of the tactics.

I kinda feel that way until I think about the last 8 years and then I realize that she's better than the other guy.

Right on Lisa-Even though I said i wouldn't talk politics on my blog (which I am thinking about changing) doesn't mean I can't talk about them on other peoples blog. Having said that I think this post is right on and it's clear it is going to get down right nasty. I do look for Barrack to come out a little stronger about Clinton's "experience" or lack there of. Heck I would rather elect Nancy Reagan if the First Lady title is considered "International Experience".

Shaun!
I totally caught you talking politics!!! You are a sham!
Also, you spelled your candidate's first name incorrectly.
You....! I've got your number!! You say that you won't talk politics, but what you really mean is that you won't talk politics with anyone that MAY have a difference of opinion.
-Your loving sister!!!!
