I'll be voting or Obama on Tuesday, but I agree with Roachboy that they are both "intelligent, informed and articulate" with Obama being the more traditional liberal and Clinton the more centrist DLC democrat....although on many issues there are few distinctions between their past voting records and current campaign positions.
Cliinton is far more experienced then some seem to think....going back to serving as an attorney on the House Judiciary Committee staff for the Nixon impeachment and her work as a lobbyist/advocate for the Children's Defense Fund before marrying Bill.
And I would never underestimate the ability of the Clinton campaign machine which is far more experienced that Obama's. If Hillary wns the the nomination, she will have my full support and I have no doubt that she would run an effective winnable campaign against McCain.
One thing attracted me to Obama more than anything else. He is the only candidate in either party who speaks about bringing the country together, and he does so with passion and conviction.
Clinton, McCain, (Huckabee, Romney, Edwards,...) seem to be more interested in perpetuating the divide then acknowledging that it needs to be fixed.
