Hillary Clinton is unelectable
Whatever the political stances, I cannot imagine that Hillary could be elected as president. Not because she is a woman, but because she is not likeable.
Obama is politically popularist and seems the most lightweight candidate... but eminently likeable and charismatic... and would certainly win the election
Its a funny system in the US.
In the UK, we vote for a party... who make all these tough decisions for you.
In the US the supporters of the party seem to be forced between choosing between their head and their heart every time.
In terms of political stance, I would say I would be closer to Hillary, but voting for her is the equivalent of voting for George Greghan to stand in front of you jeering "4 more years boys, 4 more years..." imo
Is it a good system that allows the people to actually decide the candidates?
I prefer the UK system myself, of the people having one choice... between the candidates presented to them.
