Reply to Democratic nominee: Clinton is better prepared
February 1, 2008

After reading this article, I find it nothing more than another personal political opinion that ended up in the Denver Post. Because I am a supporter of Barack Obama at the moment, I disagreed with much of what the article had to say. I am always open to change if the author of a well written article uses good arguments and supporting evidence to win over the reader, however I didn’t feel this was the case in this article. Why should I change my mind and support Hillary when I really do not see any reason why I should be listening to this author? I felt that the credibility was just not there. If they would have compared her views to past presidents and their successes, or maybe if the level of credibility was at a higher level, then I might consider some of what was being said. “While they share a common vision of America's future, Clinton is more likely to forge that vision into real progress,” said the author in the article, yet without evidence provided I feel I can’t believe this to be a true statement. This article does a little bit too much bashing of Obama’s lack of experience in the past for me and should focus more on the good things Hillary has done.
