23. I went through this Super Tuesday for the CO Caucuses
Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 11:54 AM by hlthe2b
Walked in still not knowing for sure which way I'd go, sat with my precinct group and even took a sign for both candidates (historic momento, after all).... Finally some annoyed ward captains for both Obama and Hillary let me know the time was coming to get off the fence so that I could hold ONE sign or the other...LOL The irony is there were many there just like me--sort of leaning one way or the other, but just not sure.

Well, I respect both candidates and would support either one, but I finally decided that we need to go in as opposite the direction of our current incompetents in office as possible. Though I believe both will try to do so, I think it may be more doable for Barack.

Hillary--though I have since heard never liked NAFTA-- still carries the baggage of Bill's worst policies, fair or no. I want as clean a slate as possible. And, I want to harness the excitement and positivity of the youth, I admit. At the same time, I really want to see a woman in office.

Ultimately, I'd be most pleased, I think, with a Hillary/Obama ticket, but I slid off the fence last week to support Obama, at this stage.
