I will be voting in my state's March 4 primary for Hillary Clinton, mainly because she is tough as nails.
She's a fighter and she's not afraid to roll up her sleeves and do the hard work it will take to make the changes that for the most part she and Senator Obama agree are needed. The difference between them is that she has a head-start on making all those changes -- she knows exactly what it will take, and who she has to fight, and what arguments will be thrown at her in opposition, and she knows already what compromises she will have to make in order to keep her promises to the American people. She already knows who her enemies are and who her allies are in Washington, and in lots of cases, around the world.
I don't believe Senator Obama is as prepared, in those ways, to be President. I believe that if Obama were elected President, his supporters would be disappointed when he couldn't keep all of his promises. I do very much think he WANTS to implement the changes he speaks about ... but I don't think he would be as efficient as Senator Clinton in actually getting those things done. He is green in comparison to her.
I really do believe that with the mess we're in -- economically, in foreign policy, in healthcare and education -- America needs a tough-as-nails, experienced and prepared Democrat in the White House ASAP. And I do believe that Hillary Clinton is the right Democrat.
