I don't much enjoy talking about electoral politics online and I usually find that there are other people representing my point of view admirably in most of the forums I frequent. But this time around, I'm seeing a lot of people on my f-list excited about Obama and that leads me to make my choice more visible:

In tomorrow's primary election I will be voting for Hillary Clinton.

I am impressed with her devotion to the causes I care most about. Her intelligence and understanding of politics and her commitment to complex policies are unparalleled. Her plan for universal healthcare is the best one out there and I am confident of her grasp of foreign policy. Her personal strength and drive are self-evident. I trust her to make hard decisions and to strive to make wise ones. And when it comes to identity politics, it is important to me, personally, to vote for a woman for President. I would like to see 52% of the American population represented in our highest office for the first time.

It's an exciting season and I am glad to see the fervor and hope it is generating. I encourage everyone to get out there and vote for the candidate of your choice.
