I did my civic duty on Saturday morning by taking advantage of the early voting process offered in Davidson County. My heart was to vote for John Edwards. He just inspired me more than the other candidates. He spoke more to my beliefs and on items such as the economy, war, and health care than the other two candidates.
When I got to the booth to vote, my heart tore for the reality that John Edwards was so far behind in the primaries that my brain and hand had me voting for Hillary Clinton.
Today, John Edwards did the right thing and suspended his campaign. I am sure many other feel the way I did for John Edwards but knew the reality of him getting the nomination were slim. He and Elizabeth are a true resemblance of the American family dealing with daily life and tragedy.
I am not unhappy with my vote for Hillary Clinton. She has clear laid out plans on the economy, health care, immigration, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. She was tested and vested as the First Lady during Bill Clinton’s presidency. Tested again as the Senator of NY during 911 events. She has the experience needed to be the President, having served as a First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of America, Senator from New York. She has served on the Senate Arms Committee, been to Iraq or Afghanistan nearly a dozen times.
Why I didnt vote for Barak Obama? Barak is very inspiring, a very afluent speaker, very Kennedy like. But lets face it, anyone that take office after President Bush will be a change for the better and unfortunately, I just do not believe a one term Senator, who has just really started his political career, does not have the experience necessary to lead in/on or with the many major problems that Americans immediately facing the next President.
I look forward to a day when the problems facing America are not so great that an inspirational person without a lot of political experience can be elected President. Now is just not the time.
We need true grit and strenghth, ready to lead person now. I will miss the possibility of John Edwards as President and wish him and Elizabeth well. Time to look forward to cleaning up the damage done by the Bush Administration years. I believe Hillary Clinton can lead this nation and repair our reputation around the world.
