Ha....no....you're right.
It's my opinion though, and I'm biased, as well as inexperienced (young, never married) so, in my opinion, looking from the outside in, it's never looked genuine. Granted, this is all through the spectrum of news, television and radio, so of course, I could be 100% off...that's life. At the same time however, neither one of us has had any personal experience with them (one on one), so neither one can say with 100% certainty if it's real or not.
I think when we're young we think a marriage is all the fairytale. That's what sinks a lot of "starter marriages." The best ones are a partnership, where both people's strengths and weaknesses compliment each other. It's my opinion that the Clintons are an excellent example of this. It was really formed by meeting them once in a non-political (if 2 politicians can ever be said to be so) capacity. But can't say I know them personally, so it's still just an opinion. Nobody really knows what goes on behind closed doors.

Fair enough. What's the policy issue? Just curious, especially as you are "the younger voter" everyone is talking about right now.

Honestly, I'm keeping the cards close to my chest on this one...silly, I know. But there's so much information and misinformation out there, that I'm still sifting through everything I can to poke holes and/or fill in gaps...for everyone. I'm sure that if I say something now, I'd probably find something else tomorrow, then feel like a doofus.

At least the previous stuff is opinion, and we all know about opinions.

Part 2: Hillary wins the two big states plus Rhode Island.

And now Pennsylvania will matter. You go girl.

Are you depressed because you're an Obama supporter or because you don't want Pennsylvania to matter?

Not really.

An attack ad that aired in TX (the 3am phone call ad) seemed to work according to pundits in TX, and shooting out a memo that Obama is pro-NAFTA in Ohio... something that would strike a very deep nerve with Ohioans.

If dung is going to be flying in the air, Obama will have to go out and defend it.

Hillary has yet to be attacked over her particular (and well-known) political scandals and lobbying credentials.


On mud/dirt: Hillary is also resisting releasing her income tax returns for public inspection. Between APR15 and APR22, I think you're gonna see some nasty comments going back and forth and Clinton finally gives in and releases her tax returns after McCain and Obama do so for this tax season.

. i feel that his governing, if as i perceive to be heartfelt, will inevitably turn the wheels of change because when there is no agenda only the need of the public will prosper.

I think Barack Obama offers genuine interest in the will of the people, and i feel insulted that Ed Rendell (fast eddie) seems to think he can just hand Chillary Pennsylvania, as if voters have no independent minds of their own and simply bend to his endorsements.(i'd take a shot at Michael Nutter but i havent found good basis yet). My memory isnt so short that i cant remember whitewater or the Vince Foster suicide. If i were Hillary i'd avoid talking about the past and or experience. She should talk more about tommorrow and less about yesterday, because based on yesterday i just dont trust her.
