I deeply resent the spin on why I support Hillary Clinton. I am "risk-adverse"? Uneducated? Translation: old, afraid woman. Very sexist. Shame on you.

I read Obama's book, and he rarely takes a definite stand. He is not as wise enviromentally as the Clintons have been (albeit with Gore's help). I also don't think we can afford universal healthcare without a full mandate and I think he knows that and is being quite calculating and cynical in his emotional manipulation of the voters. He has voted right with Hillary on the war, so spare me the theatrics.

I have many solid policy reasons to support Clinton. Try to respect us "older women" who think deeply and examine the fine print and are not as emotional nor as gullible as you young 'uns (how did that feel, to have your reasons to vote for Obama so easily dismissed?).
