I actually wrote this sometime ago on Hillary Clinton's website on Jan. 7, 2008, just wanted to post it here too, again.

I have been paying more attention to the coverage of these primary elections a lot more since my vacation break from college. About a year ago, until these past few weeks, Hillary Clinton was certainly perceived as the inevitable democratic candidate, but we all hopefully now know, "there ain't no such thing."

I look at a candidate like Barack Obama and he truly embodies everything a democrat could possibly want in their president--except one, experience. We all know our country is in desperate need of restoration, abroad and here at home--especially restoration in the politics of government. With that being said then, Obama is right, we must believe in, and demand change. However, my gut feeling tells me the person with the capability to deliver on that change, in Washington and around the World, yes, on day one, is no doubt Hillary Clinton. Why her?

America has always seemed to move toward the mentality of always being on the hunt for the bigger, better deal. Sometimes it works, and sometimes the risk bites us in the "you know where." (i.e. Iraq, dependency on foreign oil, our reluctance to help those countries that cannot provide us with incentive to do so) What happened to the right and best resolution, with a more definite and certain outcome for the future? Experience does matter--a lot! Would you take any great sports legend's first career season starts, or their remaining legacies?
Obama has made himself known to the American public, and his time will most certainly come, but this time calls for Hillary.

With the political media coverage all but betting the farm on Hillary being dead in the water, I believe it is imperative that she acknowledge the force with which the Obama campaign has struck its chord. There is no need to attack that which should be accepted. We have found in Barack Obama our country's inspiration point, a change, a message of hope, and a motivational movement toward new beginnings. However, there invade real and pressing problems to our country at this very moment. It is not scare tactics, it is unfortunately the reality that we have been led into by the Bush administration's destruction and lack of production. While Senator Obama has invoked, provoked, and demaded the people's motivation toward a "change we can believe in," the difference we all must recognize and realize is, the presidency does not stop with inspiration and motivation. We must--we must, elect a president that can produce our inspiration's and our motivation's demanded outcome. This is change realized and change justified.

Experience does matter, and hopefully Senator Barack Obama's candidacy this time around will remind us so. I believe Hillary Clinton's fight is strong and steadfast, and the kids that need to "comeback" are us.

And still,

Clinton 08'
