I've been thinking about this a lot - I think that what bothers me about Obama is his message of change. Now, granted, I'm not happy with the status quo - but now it seems like his primary selling point is that he's an unknown. I don't know that I want an unknown. I don't trust the office holder period, and at this point, after the W Presidency, I'd rather at least feel like I know what I'm getting into, rather than rolling the dice and hoping I like what I get.

I know Hillary talks out of both sides of her mouth, will say whatever it takes to get what she wants, and is totally in it for herself. I might not be thrilled with it, but at least it won't be a surprise.
