At face value Obama is a classic "centrist". Exactly why he was never an option for me until the party showed just how dumb it really is and ignored the Edwards populism.
He's more liberal than Hillary by virtue of voting record. Simple as that. We can compare them all day long and she has the worse record of the two. That's a simple fact that is easily checked out here should one endeavor to take the time... Link...
He did not vote to compromise our privacy.
She did. Case closed for me.
Everything is secondary to our personal privacy.

Okay, I was bored. I looked at every bill that was voted on in the Senate listed on VoteSmart from 2005 to 2007 and cannot find this bill to which you are referring based on your she did/he didn't claim.
Can you help me out a bit? I'm really into the details.
When finished reading Hillary's details, look to the top-right sidebar and you'll see a small section that reads "how members voted". Click and scroll down to examine all votes by state. Obama will be Illinois obviously. He recorded a "NV". Wisely for a rookie I might add.

I was confused. When you wrote, "He did not vote to compromise our privacy." I thought you meant he voted No. You actually meant he did Not Vote.
Obama was 2 1/2 years into his term when this vote came up, only six (6) months ago. In calling him a rookie and saying he was wise to Not Vote on a controversial issue just six months ago, aren't you saying he is not yet ready to be President of the United States. Why would you want him to be President if you don't think he is capable of making the decision on how to vote on the REAL ID Funding bill?

But support for the Real ID doesn't reflect that.
As far as Bill goes, casual drug users, the poor and the homeless found out he was not pretending after all. No reason to feel Hillary will be any different as far as I can see.

It's true that Hillary is always thinking about what you can and cannot get away with in the general, or how to win. She knows the enemy like no one else.
Hillary is to the left of Bill. Always has been. She argued against NAFTA, Bill didn't listen.
I canceled my membership to MoveOn today. I wish they'd stayed neutral. This primary is too long and too intense. Come November, I may well be too exhausted to vote!
Who was that guy in Connecticut? Ned Lamont?
Guess there was too much of that attention deficit disorder going on to finish.
Liberal? In what way? Universal health care, not.

Senator Clinton: Real ID

Clinton is only pretending to be right of Obama... it's the same strategy Bill used to get the presidency.
