Not because their politics were much different, but because she knew how to fight the Republicans. She also had been in the senate for more than one term and had formed alliances that would have been useful in negotiating with the other side.

Obama had barely been in the senate half of his first term before he decided that he was ready to be president. I didn't think then or now that he was ready to handle the job better than Hillary.

Frankly, I can't stand the sight of him and it's no secret around here how I feel. Ditto for the party leadership and all the crap they pulled to ensure that he was the nominee.

I am now an Independent and I'm indifferent about either party.

A pox on their heads!!!
