And it’s my reasons for voting for Hillary Clinton…not against Senator Obama.

At DailyKos I write as BigDog04.

Only anti-Obama. At this point the only arguments I hear are based on A.) why the process is unfair and Obama isn't really winning or B.) on why he is winning but the SD's should go some other way because he is such a bad candidate. I suspect if someone posted a substantive pro-Hillary article on the nature of her campaign or her positions, it might fly. I’ve never read a pro-Hillary post at DK. Only anti-Obama.

What confuses me, then, is why so many of them, then, are so adamantly opposed to Sen. Clinton when her domestic policy positions are clearly superior. There is the open question of who will actually perform better if elected, but there really is no doubt about which candidate has assembled the superior platform. And there is no doubt about the fact that neither candidate deserves to be vilified by those who clearly should be grateful that the Democratic Party is going to field a Presidential Candidate in the General Election who will end up being no worse than the second or third best President that this Nation has had since at least 1968. In fact, gven the times, we may seriously need another FDR and we may well be choosing between either of two people who could end up filling the bill.
