Hillary Clinton is a smart, independent thinking (albeit wrong), strong headed woman who is likely to do exactly what she wants, when she wants. She has proved that with her reckless push for "Hillarycare" and her loyalty to Bill. She is shrewd and scary, but somewhat predictable.

B. Hussien Obama, is good at reading,sometimes plagiarized, words off a teleprompter. Beyond that, I've got nothing.

We haven't heard much about his plans, platform or insights. He is running on a platform of "hope" and "change". Those are abstract ideas that even Mother Theresa could get on board.

That leads me to believe that he could be very easy to control. Maybe we have ourselves a Manchurian Candidate. A very scary thought when you think about who is likely to be pulling the strings.

As a social and fiscal conservative, this has been a disappointing election season. The high point in the last months election coverage came when McCain's wife said in response to Obama's wife saying that she was proud of American for the first time in her adult life, "I have always been proud of America".  Me too. Me too.
