8. "Obama is more electable"
Vote for Kerry, he's more electable, oh my God, don't screw up the election by supporting Dean, Kerry is electable, oh my God!!!

Jeez. I think the term "electable" is the kiss of death. Hillary's biography is on the Internet. It makes for fascinating reading, even if you (obviously) have swallowed the belief that she's polarizing. It's amazing to me how Democrats are so willing to fall in line with right wing talking points instead of fighting back against them, going out there and telling them they are just so flat wrong about Hillary and explaining why.

I can spend 5 minutes with a Repub who is against Hillary because of preconceived notions, and by the time I'm done, they're nodding their head in agreement that they've been led around by the nose, too, duped by the echo chamber of the media.

Anyway, I don't have to like a candidate to vote for her or him, I just need to believe they'll do a competent job. You don't see hatred against Hillary in Congress. She knows how to work with them. What does that tell you?
