Division and Unity

For the first time in our 15 year marriage Jack and I are rooting for different teams. I'm absolutely thrilled that Hillary won NH and plan on voting for her in the primary. To think of a woman president in my life time - well I just never thought it would happen. But now we have a smart capable strong woman who has a real chance at winning.

The truth is I like Obama too. He'll get my vote if he wins the nomination. I'm also excited at the prospect of the first African American to be president. In truth I'm torn but Hillary just edges out Obama, so I can see Bill as First Man. I for one will be very glad to have Bill back in the White House.

Not that anyone cares who I'm going to vote for - I'm in a liberal state which will goto who ever is on the democratic ticket. I'm also bad luck for any candidate I vote for in my first election I voted for Bush Senior (my republican days - I'm so ashamed!) , Then though college was turning me liberal I still couldn't vote for Clinton - so I voted for Perot- yes I was one of those. Then Gore and we know how that turned out, and finally Kerry - so I can't seem to vote for a winner. I'm tempted to vote for the republican - just to guarantee his failure.

Come to think of it Jack was a Clinton Fan back in 1994 when I voted for Perot so this isn't the only time we've disagreed.
