As for her lack of education (BA from N. Dakota?), that too has to be taken into consideration. Why are Americans so willing to give these types of candidates roles of governance - Bush, the Governator, Jesse Ventura, etc. Try looking at us from Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306924738545479337.post-43293021858085130482008-09-04T13:43:37.235-07:002008-09-04T13:43:37.235-07:00Nope, sorry, can't shout out for Obama either!...Nope, sorry, can't shout out for Obama either! I can't divorce the moral and human implications of his votes on some issues in the Senate from his other good qualities. He comes as a package as well. I find the republican's support of the death penalty, or gun rights and the democrat's support for abortion and partial birth abortion equally appalling.
