Senator Clinton did not lose the state of Wisconsin. I know this because she did not concede. Pundits and beancounters may of course take issue with this view. However, say what they will, she is a force of nature. Two times, at New Hampshire and Super Tuesday she has stopped the Obama express in its tracks. Ten out of the last ten times it has run her down. We don't where this express is from, we don't where it's going, but right now it seems to have some momentum. She has not wavered. This person is granite. How many other people would still be even standing after this, man or woman. Not only standing, but already in front of a crowd of people in the next state, "Hello, Ohio". Smiling, waving, staying on message, and still going. The message has changed slightly with the current version being along the lines of "solutions". I think this is still just trying to find the words that resonate the real message to the voters that she is simply the most qualified person for the job. But whether the message catches on or it doesn't, she keeps going. Straight ahead, she doesn't veer right, she doesn't veer left, and she doesn't backup. She also doesn't look back so she doesn't make concessions either. Hillary does not concede.

One Reason

This is possibly not a completely original idea. But consider this. If you are voting in the upcoming Texas or Ohio primaries. Just as a quick check before you go with the Obama flow. Meaning, before you head out the door to actually cast the ballot for him. Try to think of one reason you believe Senator Obama should be president. To make this a little bit harder, eliminate the fact that you liked a speech he made or that any of your friends, neighbors or children are voting for him. For what specific reason should he be the president? Yes, this means to eliminate the rock star aspect or any simple momentum, I won't try to hide what I'm getting at here. If you come up with just one thing that he's done or a position he has taken that you believe means he should hold the office, go ahead and vote for him. A speech can count if it actually details a postion that is important to you. Maybe something like his original position on the Iraq war contained in my first blog. That is a while back, but it might be still be something that is a deciding factor for you. If you can't come up with one reason that decides it for him, then do the same thing for Senator Clinton. You can, if you like, look at my first or third blogs or the first paragraph above for thoughts here.

If you can't come up a reason for either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama. I suggest you go do some quick reading. Right now I would not suggest voting Republican.
