This letter is to explain why I am not supporting Senator Barack Obama and am fully supporting Senator Hillary Clinton for President of the United States.

Senator Obama often repeats that he is the candidate for change but what has he done to work for change? Why are most of his political endorsements coming from Washington insiders? This is something to be considered. In addition, he appears to mimic the candidacy of Senator Clinton in spirit but not with substance. Clearly he has not thought the issues through and perhaps {it was thought} given more time and experience, he would emerge as a fine statesperson. But all that has changed since the recent revelations of his twenty-year relationship with Pastor Jeremiah Wright. It is very troubling to realize the influence Wright has had on Obama when it comes to the pastor's anti-American racist beliefs. Any reasonable person would have discontinued this relationship if they did not concur with these views. Senator Obama will only add to the racial divide in this country. Furthermore, his latest comments about the "bitter small-town Pennsylvanians" are in fact "elitist,” “demeaning” and “out of touch”. These are things the Democratic Party I knew never stood for. Consequently, at this most crucial moment in history, our country cannot afford to gamble again with someone who is simply not prepared to take on the enormous responsibilities of Commander-In-Chief.

On the other hand, Senator Clinton has spent her whole life working for change. Change that has improved the quality of life for all Americans by focusing on fairness. She truly cares about our country. Given the current state of our economy, she may very well represent the last chance for this country to avoid social catastrophe. Her lengthy public-service experience has more than prepared her for the presidency. It is the very reason why the greedy powers-that-be are so opposed to her candidacy. It is why some of her primary opponent's donors are part of this opposition. Frankly, those supporting the status quo have never felt so threatened. For this election is a clear choice between those who have never had it so good and those of us who know we can do better. Senator Clinton knows we can do better and her track record reflects that. On Tuesday, May 20, Kentucky needs to support Senator Hillary Clinton for President and help get our country back on track.

I still believe that Senator Clinton is the better fall candidate. She knows how to win and does WHATEVER IT TAKES. The gas tax holiday is a perfect example.
First, she stole the idea from John McCain and recast it as her own. All great politicians need to be able to do this.
Second, she used it to attack Obama as out of touch. I don't think that he is, but this is effective labeling strategy. Another sign of a great politician.
Finally, the gas tax holiday is pandering, does not solve anything, probably will never happen anyway, and may even amount to a kind of tax cut for the wealthiest Americans and a boon for oil companies who fear reduced summer revenues. But all of these things do not change the fact that it is good politics and she has used it well.

Choose Clinton over Obama?

I've got a better idea. Choose Obama over McCain.

This is the way, and indeed the only way, to undo the mess that 8 years of Bush (or even 20 years of Clinton-Bush partisan warfare) have gotten our economy and our standing in the world into.

Kentucky can take the first step towards ending the Bush-Clinton dynasties on May 20th.
