I believe that Hillary has the better experience for the job, that she has the better stamina to beat the Republicans, and that the voters have voted emotionally (especially African Americans) without regard as to the best candidate for the job. Will I vote for Hillary even though Barack has the edge on both pledged delegates and popular vote? What would you do under the same circumstances? So, here’s the question I have:

Clinton and N.C. for Sen. Obama. So some of the polls were off as well may the National one be. The reality to contend with, though, is that Sen. Obama will end the Primary process up in total votes (Michigan and Fla. included), and up in pledged delegates. Also there are strong indications that this combination will give him the lead in discretionary delegates. It is now more likely than ever to be decided on the first ballot in Denver. I, for one, would like to see Hillary doing something more beneficial in the near future than merely serving in the Senate. Chalk Indiana up for Sen. Clinton and N.C. for Sen. Obama.
