I suppose I do find it incredibly insulting that afro-Americans are expected to support Obama “because he’s black”, and that everytime I mutter something along the lines of “I guess Clinton wouldn’t be that bad”, people automatically think that my support is linked to my feminist politics.  Jesus, people. Two days ago I watched an excellent coverage of the elections/super Tuesday  by the BBC, during which the journalist asked Jesse Jackson, point blank, if he supported Obama because they shared the same skin colour. I cringed.

That being said, Obama vs. Clinton is a tough choice and to be frank, I liked Edwards best.

I like Clinton’s views on health care, and appreciate her support of LGBT communities. Her crying did not bother me one bit, and well - I always had a soft spot for Bill. Obama, as pointed out elsewhere, would be better at international affairs since his state is a clean, fresh one untainted by the Clinton Years.

Blogger Susie Bright nails it as always, trying to explain her indecision between the two Democrats candidates:

“The Clintons are admitted hawks, they’re prudes, and they’re absolutely quaint on issues like continuing the embargo on Cuba. Someone needs to surgically remove the Cold War out of their ass. ”

PS: And really? This is why I think blogs are my main source of news-reading these days: for comments like these.
