Yes, Hilary was there during the Clinton administration, she was in charge of getting a national health care plan. It didn’t happen and many say that a portion of the reason is that Hilary Clinton does not work well with others. She wants us to look at her record. I have and I’m not impressed. I live in Upstate NY. Again, Clinton’s record does not impress me.

Obama clearly can reach agreement with people in different parties and inspire people to take action. He is not perfect, but he does not claim to be. He is by far the most admirable politician I have seen in my lifetime (I’m too young to remember Kennedy or earlier). Obama 08!!!

And to all the over-50’s that commented above on their support and vote. Thank you. I didn’t register as a Democrat in time to vote in the NY primary, so I’m eagerly awaiting voting for Obama for the first time in November.

Obama ..is NOT my choice! I KNOW he does not have the experience of the back stabbing Washington insiders tactics . He has to be able to withstand personal attacks ….like the Rev Wright has delivered …without a misstep!!! He has faultered already.
Hillary has been inspected from birth till death …millions have been spent trying to drag her under … only Bill’s zipper problem brought him down!
Yet George can start an illegal war .. limit or take away Constitutional Rights …eves drop on the phone and internet … give torture as a gift to prisoners …and
walk away leaving the mess for the next president to fix!
Voters BEWARE… vote for someone who knows the rules of the game!!! When Bill Clinton was President we were doing fine in America … Hillary was there ..listened,saw, learned. She can do the job !!! Vote Hillary!!!

I’m 53 and my brothers are older, one’s 65, we are all for Obama. If you want 4 more years of Bush, he’s not running but vote McCain, he’ll be about as bad.

Kaye: I’m feel insulted when someone tries to tell me how older voters think. I’m considering both candidates very carefully, listening to them and reading about them. I just don’t think it helps much to attack one or the other of them. The committed Democrats I know support one another. We don’t want to see another four years of Bush’s policies. Anyway, you can’t scare me off from considering Obama on his own merits. He’s an excellent candidate, and so is Hillary Clinton.

yeah,

the difference between 46 and my current 52 is just so profound.

my smart-aleck guess is that Obama pulls at least half of the boomers that have an older brother or sister Hilary’s age.
