The caucus went something like 42 for Obama to 8 for Clinton, and I was
chosen as the delegate to represent Obama at the state convention. So
yes, as it turns out I was the driver of the delegate. :-)



Wow!

To this long-time exile, could you, succinctly, explain why Obama is
much better than Clinton?


Change.

Succinct enough?

Their policy positions are nearly identical. I'm just sick of
Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton.

I don't care about charisma or oratorical skills. I just want something
different.

I have a republican (as opposed to Republican) dislike for dynasties


I feel the same way.


and she went the wrong way, and he the right way, over Iraq,

but beyond that?


Beyond that? That's BIG. That's HUGE! The establishment Democrats, like
Hillary Clinton, were afraid to vote against the Iraq war resolution in
the wake of 9/11 because they were afraid to be seen as weak on national
security. It was a cowardly vote, IMO.

If Hillary Clinton end's up the nominee I will enthusiastically vote for
her.
