We've all seen the endless debates about which Demoncratic candidate is best suited for the general election. Those analyses aside, personally, I don't think I can't vote for this woman.
As a progressive, and admittefly an Obama supporter, I desperately want an individual in the White house who will represent my ideals, my vision for the future. While I believe that Hillary actually believes the principles she is running on, I feel her candidacy will only allow for a rehashing of every argument about the 1990's that eventually made conservatives angry enough to get to the polls and vote in GWB.
While I could see myself voting for Edwards, Richardson, even Dodd or Biden, I cannot vote for Hillary, and I think I speak for a lot of Obama supporters who feel the same.
As I suspect many of you have, I have found myself EXHAUSTED by the political climate in this country for the last eight years. In spite of my borderline hatred of GWB and my recognition that it is his actions which has borught this exhaustion on, I feel a Hillary candidacy will only swing the pendulum to the other extreme and our government will be left in further logjam.
Strictly for policy reasons, even though she could win the general election, I don't think I can vote for Hillary.
