I thought we had moved beyond the Fox News Wright sound bites. If you're not willing to hear Wright's comments in context, than what's the point of bringing him up? So you can sound like you're from West Virginia?

Separation of Church and State!

I vote for someone who can lead and govern. I don't care where or who they worship with.

Obama has more than a 12 point lead in current CA, NY and NJ polls. The Hillary signs are coming down in droves and being replaced by O's.

Trivial arguing aside, I think Hillary would have made a great president. She was poised to be our first truly progressive president.
But the tenor of her campaign has been so sour and negative, that I just don't see it translating into leadership for the whole country.
I think different advisors may have been able to get her to look at the country as it is today, rather than as it was in the 90's.
It seems as though the old Clinton sense of entitlement is finally backfiring on what looked like the Democratic party's strongest candidate in years.
Clearly Senator Clinton went into this primary season assuming she would clean up with nothing but wins. Instead she is facing a candidate that is gaining the kind of broad support this country has not seen since Ronald Reagan swept the country on the way to winning his first term.
Clinton is now firmly equated with the past, while Obama seems to be opening new doors and new eyes every day. The Bush administration planted the seeds for a big wake up call. Barack Obama was the only candidate politically astute enough to reap what's been sown. In my book, thats how you define judgement. In my book, that's leaps and bounds more "presidential" than anything we've seen or heard from Hillary Clinton this year.
