I may have issues with Hillary, but intelligence isn't one of them.
While I support Barack, I think Hillary IS electable. I think she can eat up the opponents in a debate. Is gender a factor (Hillary)?
Is race a factor (Obama)? Is age a factor(McCain)? Is religion a factor (Romney)? She is smart. I have to give her that. Go Obama!

1. She is smart. She's also not liked much and that could be a BIG problem. nt

2. Good post
You are fair in your assessment and I appreciate that.

I am undecided.

Pros for Clinton: Very intelligent (as you said), Competent, Hard working, Calm under extreme stress, a Known Quantity

Pros for Obama: Very intelligent, Super Inspiring, Appeals to the young and to independents

Cons for Clinton: People think it's OK to treat her and Bill with the utmost disrespect and if she's elected, I'll have to listen to the MSM spew their vitriol for her whole term(s), no matter how well she governs

Cons for Obama: Will he stand up to the neocons and the corporations; in other words, I don't see him as a known quantity

4. Christ. If she goes up against McCain half of Ohio will be
begging to buy him a round.

Ohio will fall in love with him.

5. Thank you.
You are one of the few Obama supporters who have been fair to Hillary.

May the best man, er, woman win!!!
