[NEohioPAL] Fwd: If you are as sick and tired as I am of hearing about Clinton's "qualifications' please read on & pass it on.

Fri Feb 22 16:48:05 PST 2008

Loath as I am to make this a political forum, let me say that the  
race for the Democrat nomination has turned into a popularity  
contest, pure and simple.  Obama is the cute new boy.  Clinton, the  
"mean mom," knows all of the players on the world and national stages  
and knows how to work with them, whereas Obama would be rendered  
ineffectual the way Jimmy Carter was.

Not to mention that if we vote Clinton i, we'll also have in the  
White House the man who presided over the longest peacetime boom in  
the last century.

Ralph Nader stumped for idealism in the last election, and look what  
happened.  Now is not the time for idealism.  Now is the time to  
attempt to restore some small portion of what George W Bush has  
ruined, changing the balance of power in the world.
