Reasons I Voted for Hillary This Morning, Ascending to Descending
  • My dad's voting for her, and whoever's good enough for my old man is more than good enough for me.
  • She's got Rhode Island wrapped up, and she really needs to at worst split with Obama today, so why not help deliver her Ohio and keep this very exciting (and young-voter-energizing) primary going for a bit longer?
  • I don't give a shit about pandering, but when Clinton talks about financially rescuing destitute post-industrial places like Youngstown, I believe her a lot more than I do BO. Barack, you just sound like you're talking about ethanol in Iowa before their primary. Sound and fury, sure, but only signifying...something or other.
  • Things are going to get uglier than we'd like in Denver no matter what.
  • Conversations about gender are just as important as discussions about race.
  • If Obama sweeps today and essentially begins the national campaign against McCain, although we have no idea what the Republican Hate Machine will bring to that discussion, we know it aint' gonna be good.
  • She was kinda funny on SNL.
  • Experience matters, and whether it was as First Lady or as Senator, lady's got plain ole' more experience, geopolitically. Fact. And that's just what we need right now.
  • Latinos, by and large, hate Obama, and that'll make him much more difficult to elect nationally, whereas they, by and large, like Clinton and their support could be important vs. Mr. Immigration come November.
  • It's Women's History Month (note: I don't know if this reason would change my vote had my primary been held in Feb.)
  • A bunch of other reasons I'd be happy to discuss after I grade some more papers and locate some coffee.

Experience matter!!!???? An idiot with lot of experiences is still an idiot. On the other hand, a smart person with no experience can gain experience in a blink of an eye. If everyone consider experiences as their top hiring requirement then new graduated college student can never get a job. The truth is that a smart young person with no experience can be much better than an experience, old, lazy fool who only shows up to work to collect the checks.
