After MTP

I live in Illinois and will be out of town on February 5th -- Super Tuesday -- when our state votes.  Our early voting opens tomorrow and I have been torn between voting for Obama or Clinton.  I have gone back and forth a number of times.  I watched Hillary's MTP appearance today and was less than impressed.  Clinton was abrasive, defensive and brash.  What happened to the "human" Hillary we saw the day before New Hampshire?  More evidence it was all an act. 

She made a number of disingenuous explanations for her attacks on Obama, and I started seriously questioning her ability to be truthful.  After reading Robert Johnson's veiled -- and very tired -- reference to Obama's past drug use, I made up my mind.  I am voting for Obama.  He may not have Hillary's experience, but he also does not have her constitutional inability to be honest, and for that I am thankful.
