As a guy, who likes Clinton but supports Obama, I've really struggled in my attempts to have civil conversations with Clinton supporters who refuse to believe that anyone other than a misogynist, race-baiting, plebe would consider voting for Obama. Now, having witnessed the over-exuberance of some Obama supporters, I know my treatment is more of a sampling error than the true nature of Clinton supporters so I've laughed it off, but there still remained my desire for earnest arguments in support of Clinton that would expand my knowledge of her pluses and minuses, especially, in the event that I would have to support her as the Democratic nominee.

So I just want to say thanks for providing that type of discussion, sans the flaming and vitriol that increasingly comes with divergent political views in this, the 2008 election cycle.

I'm new to your site and will continue to visit if the depth and frankness of this series is indicative of the type of discussion that is to be found.
