As for Iraq, I don't think Obama can claim to be more anti-war than Hillary. He has funded the war at every opportunity. It was easy for him to be against the war when he had no vote to give, but upon becoming a senator he turned timid. Why would he fund what he called a "dumb war"?
Every Democrat gave John Kerry a pass on this issue in 2004. But now it seems like Hillary must pay for the sins of everyone who was duped by George Bush.

Word!
I find it offensive that Hillary is criticized by some for choking up and in the next breathe, people are saying she is void of emotion.
It feels like she is judged on a harsher scale than the rest of them. We were all duped by Bush but if she ever was to stand up and say she made a mistake voting for the war, she would be called weak, indecisive and accused of changing position when it became unpopular.
Obama is just not experienced enough for me. He has not had to make as many tough votes in the Senate because he hasn't been around as long as HC. Obama may be an inspirational speaker but her track record on the issues inspires me more.
I also worry that if Obama gets the nomination, he will not be able to beat McCain in the GE. I think Hillary can. Electability (sp) should be a factor when people make their choice tomorrow, imo.
