I do prefer Hilary because I worry about Obama's lack of experience, but I also firmly believe it doesn't really matter as the Democrat candidate will get in anyway. Especially if it's versus McCain, who is absolutely insane. And it's not like America to elect a crazy President... oh, hang on...

She hasn't just fallen off the turnip truck. I do think maybe she has a point, though - I do think Hills' political ambitions are more important to her than almost anything else, and I'm almost certain that's why she kept her marriage together. And I *hate* the line of thought that says any woman president is better than a man - uh-uh. That's not feminism, that's tokenism. I prefer Obama.

Check out Amanda Platell's lovely words: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/columnists/columnists.html?in_article_id=511851&in_page_id=1772&in_author_id=463 Super Tuesday...
