Having grown up in a Republican family, I was never a huge fan of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Having since become a Democrat, I had come to like them quite a bit more. I’ve been an Obama supporter from the beginning but didn’t have anything against Hillary Clinton as president. However, by the end of [...]

A couple of days ago John McCain released an ad which states that Hillary Clinton is not Obama’s running mate because she spoke hard truths about Obama.

Check out a great post by my friend Justin Hamilton, explaining why Hillary Clinton is pretty much done. I was thinking about writing something similar, but I figure there’s no need to re-invent the wheel. I differ on a couple of the specifics, but he’s pretty much got it. Obama’s lead is [...]
