I can't deny that I was disappointed by the March 4th primary results. It's frightening to hear the phrase "Obama lost," but I understand that Obama is still ahead in delegates, and that's the important thing. I simply found myself let down by my fellow Ohioans, and disappointed that Hillary had to resort to such nasty, old school, patriarchal campaigning techniques in order to win. I've become quite jaded in regard to Hillary Clinton recently, in fact. She used to set herself apart from the traditional candidates by rising above their traditional (dirty) approaches to campaigning. Recently, however, her reliance on those same techniques has really been negative for her, in my mind. Not just because it lowers the public's opinion of her, but because in all likelihood, Obama is going to be the democratic nominee for President. Her negative campaign against him will only hurt her own party by weakening his campaign when it comes time to fight against McCain. I understand that she believes she is the best candidate. But let the people decide that based on debates, issues, and merit, not through subversive fear tactics that warp people's reasons for voting.
Obama is just SUCH an amazing possibility for the future that I don't want to see it squelched out by Hillary through dirty means. The people believe in Obama, so let them vote for Obama.
