Agreed on the point that if Hillary gets "selected" due to payback of debts owed to Willy J when he was president, then as an independant I am very likely to vote for Johnny Mac. 2 reasons:
1) INTEGRITY - I have watched at least the last 4 dem debates, and have enough facts & info as a resident of IL, to know that some of the intentionally misleading statements by Senator Clinton are tip-toeing over the line of honesty into deception or what I would call a lie. I have not once heard or read a single thing said by Barack that appears to be misleading (pls tell me if you have?). So not only does the guy sound a lot smarter and a lot more genuine, he has avoided the negative and crossing the line to his credit. If I can't have Senator O, Mac is #2 in line for integrity, and I want a leader that is not going to try to deceive me.
2) THE ISSUES - although I have yet to see a smart & in-depth comparison on Barack vs Hillary - if you have a great one, pls let/us know the link. From what I have gathered (ie: merit pay for teachers, union votes that are private, etc), I do favor Barack over Hillary. So if that is not my choice, all bets are off, Kattie bar the door, like a lot of Independants and Dems - I might go Mac (see Nafta, and don't agree with Hillary we should bail out the greedy or stupid who got into bad mortgage deals - live & learn, but pls not on my taxes)
