Candidate Endorsement

The Pennsylvania primary has come and gone.  Hillary Clinton won Pennsylvania by 9.3 points.  There is still much hand-wringing and gnashing  of teeth over the "bitter" fight for the Democratic nomination.   I'm not sure it's as big a deal as the media makes it out to be.  It\'s why we vote.

At the beginning of this political race, which seems like a million years ago, I was four-square behind Hillary for the nomination and to be our next president.  I feel like this country is in such a mess that we need someone with strong experience.  I believe Hillary is the candidate with the most experience.  Yes, even more than John McCain.  I have spent years applying for jobs only to be rejected for not having the experience.  Why should being president be any different.  Picking a candidate simply because you want someone new or because you want change are poor reasons. Look what electing a president with no experience has gotten us -- George Bush.

In the last couple of months Barack Obama has been in the lead.  I was a little unsure of him at first.  Not much experience.  But I have learned more about him and would be satisfied if he were the Democratic nominee.  Both Obama and Clinton would be much better for our country than McCain.

I heard a lady on TV sum up my feelings about the Obama-Clinton dust-up.
Picking between the two is like getting a million dollars - with one candidate you get it in 100-dollar bills and with the other it\'s like getting it in 500-dollar bills.  Either way you\'re getting a million dollars.
I still prefer Hillary, but Obama will be good too.
