All the murmurings I hear from the adults I know favor Clinton; I'm not sure why. I hear a lot of "Obama doesn't have enough experience." but when I ask what sort of experience they'd want him to have, they don't have an answer. I'm on the far side of the fence here: I think it might be better if Obama walks into the presidency, young, without tons of political baggage. I might be in a minority, though.

Also, I know a lot of women who seriously buy into the whole, "oh there's a woman running, I better vote for her." DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THAT.

I guess, for the first time, America is going to face something huge: their sexism and their racism and religious intolerance, whether valid or invented because of Obama's heritage. This is why I think things will be up in the air for awhile yet — I figure things will change right up until the nomination.
