I came to New England split between Obama and Hillary on the Democratic side. Both seemed capable, though I was running more on a gut feeling for Obama. Hillary didn’t seem electable to the public at large, hung up as they were on some undefinable and unquantifiably large distaste for her. But Obama seemed to speak only platitudes with little substance to back up his plans. Moreover, he had spent the month or two before Iowa engaging in silly attacks on standard liberal issues and figures, from supporting homophobic preachers to attacking Paul Krugman over Social Security. And Edwards just seemed too angry to be President. That passion would work wonders on an Oversight Committee, but it didn’t seem constructive for a leader.
