Barack?

In the past few months, I have been a nominal (as in, the campaign called me ten times a day, but I never answered, nor bothered to respond to their pleas for me to volunteer) Hillary supporter, based almost solely on her greater experience than Barack. I also saw a biography on her on TV a couple years ago. She's a very impressive woman. I haven't read up on Barack, and I hardly know anything about him, which is why I felt guilty and sheepish whenever I told people I was supporting Hillary. But in politics, I don't think one can ever "read about" a candidate and really be able to make a choice anyway, as they all have so many skeletons in their closets. I am disgusted at, yet fascinated by, and have also come to terms, with the secrecy of politics and government. I've come to accept that there are many things we, as citizens, just can't care too much about. That's why being a legislator is a whole 'nother, separate occupation. They deal with some mind-boggling sh!t.
Precisely because I was supporting Hillary for her experience--and also Bill; Buy One Get One Free!--I found this statement, by Ted Kennedy, quite enlightening.

“There was another time, when another young candidate was running for President and challenging America to cross a New Frontier. He faced public criticism from the preceding Democratic President, who was widely respected in the party. Harry Truman said we needed ’someone with greater experience’—and added: ‘May I urge you to be patient.’ And John Kennedy replied: ‘The world is changing. The old ways will not do…It is time for a new generation of leadership.’

I leave at that. I still need to research some and check out if they're both pro-choice, pro-Earth and pro-Peace. But, really, it's the Democratic Party that I'm voting for, and I believe the party as a whole, with ability to pressure, intimidate and force appeasement, would be advising the Presidential candidate anyway, right? So does it really matter who the candidate really is? How much of Camelot was solely Kennedy acting, as opposed to that legendary period being the result of the overall social atmosphere of the Democratic Party--or more generally, of America, at the time.

Don't know. But, I do care. Gotta hand it to Barack for getting the Kennedys' votes. Powerful, powerful, powerful. Hope he doesn't contract that highly-contagious curse though.
