Obviously... this is a hard one.
As a fed-up progessive... my heart is with Obama.
As a reality-based pragmatists, whose still believes in the ole realpolitick, Hillary seems more electable in the general.
America is not a true democracy, at least when it comes to the Presidency. All that matters in the Presidency is the electoral college math. In fact, as of 2008, if a candidate were to win the popular vote in the 11 largest states, that person would be President, even if the national popular vote were a landslide for the other guy.
The website www. electoral-vote.com clearly shows Hillary winning the electoral vote, because she is beating McCain in a few crucial states (and Obama is losing to McCain in those same states); Ohio, PA, FL, MO, NJ, and Wisconsin.
So, therefore I'm torn.
Can Obama truly ignite the youth vote?
Are Hillary's victories in certain states the result of Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos", and should they therefore be ignored?
Will McCain, as I suspect, not want to attack Obama on the Jeremiah Wright issue?
Its nervewracking.
