Prior to Obama, the last candidate that excited me was George McGovern, I enthusiastically supported him. Bobby Kennedy showed promise as he was apparently willing to go left of his brother. I felt that Obama was important as his election would prove to us that indeed the "American dream" was more than words. I knew from the beginning that his middle of the road politics would disappoint me but I felt the symbolism was extremely important. I was originally a supporter of Hillary for much the same reason, and I still feel she would have made a better President...unfortunately it appears that she is resigned to never attaining the position. So, our next President will be either a conservative Republican or a middle of the road Democrat...and the status quo will continue. This is the will of the American people...we get what we deserve.
