Nov 2012

She was my choice in the '08 primaries and I saw her at a rally, which was late in the season in my area, and she was TIRED. When OBAMA won the primaries I delivered myself wholly in support of him and was/am convinced he was the correct choice, meaning that the way she managed her campaign was not good and that she would have been a lightning rod for the wingnuts and 'Baggers, not that OBAMA hasn't been. So I believe that her management mistakes in the campaign would have translated into management mistakes as president, not to mention the people she chose to be around her.

So besides her being exhausted, I who am also up in age can say that we need younger minds, not RAYGUNs, Darth RUMS, CHEENEEs, and Alan SIMPSONs -- or me -- in charge.
