Got my sticker too. I planned all day to vote for Obama. Thought I had made up my mind. By the time I got there though, my conscience made me vote for Hillary.

Ultimately, I think it will be Obama, and that won't make me sad. I like the guy. I think his momentum is fascinating and inspiring. Still, when it came down to it, I had to vote for who I thought would be a better President.

ETA: I even voted Obama in this poll. I was certain that he would get my vote. Strange.

Funny, that's exactly why I'm NOT voting for Hillary.

I've gone back and forth on it for two weeks now. It wasn't an easy decision by any means and my reasoning goes beyond my one-sentence response. I suppose there is underlying feeling that you have to know how to play the game. I don't like the game, I hope if Obama gets in, he changes the game. But, in Hillary, I see someone who has been attacked mercilessly for many years now and she is still standing. I don't see a whole lot of new angles to attack her on. With Obama, I see the smear machine potentially eviscerating him, on everything from his name to his former drug use and any other thing they can dig up. They will swiftboat the living hell out of him and I'm not yet convinced that he can combat it successfully. He's never had it happen to him.

Did I make the best choice? I have no idea.

I think the Republican smear machinery will go after Hillary far worse than they will Obama. They have more ammunition, IMO.

I voted for Obama.
