Not really a Hillary fan either, but I still think a Clinton-Obama ticket would make a lot of sense. Yes, there is the Bill factor, some think positive based on his international experience and overall approval rating. Some think negative because of his trysts, which I don't personally think were nearly as bad as some of the stuff done to the U.S. during the last 7 years.
We are desperate for change, and to some Hillary represents the same old, same old. Don't like to sound like political hack talking points, but that seems to be how the citizens are reacting.
Both their platforms and stances are similar when reviewed. Many think there are no real platforms, just more rhetoric.
The Republicans will have to do better than McCain to beat either Democrat, IMO.
I have maintained my Independent registration for a long time, and see no reason to change it. But, it's hard to pick from such a small, lesser than 2 evils type of thing yet one more time. I didn't vote for Bill Clinton, and didn't vote for Bush, not a good voting record if winning is all that counts, but I like to think an open minded record.
