What was it about Senator Clinton that appealed to you?

Was it her desire to make an open ended commitment to remain in Iraq "until we win" whatever that means?  

If so, you misunderstood her.

Was it her belief that we ought to increase off shore drilling to meet our energy needs, while reducing our dependence on foreign sources?

Again, I would suggest to you that you may have have misunderstood her.

Maybe it was her belief that the two most recent appointees to the Supreme Court were thee type of justices she would appoint as president.

Yet, again, I think you got her position wrong.

In fact, Ms. Bartoshevich, I cannot think of a single significant issue facing our country where Senator Clinton's position is closer to Senator McCain's than it is to Senator Obama's.

So, I do not understand your preference, or your commercial.  It is a free country, at least today, and you are entitled to vote and campaign as you wish, but I have to question the one word you have used to explain it:  experience.  I wonder whether Senator Clinton's experience as Senate staffer, private attorney and First Lady of Arkansas and then the United States, before joining the Senate four years before Senator Obama did, is that much more significant than his experience as a community organizer, law professor and State Senator.  

And if her experience was sufficient before your party chose another candidate, as well it should have been, given the vast differences between her positions and Senator McCain's, why isn't his?

I can only think of two reasons, but they are both despicable so I will not ascribe them to you.  But I will tell you this, Ms. Bartoshevich, it is not okay to vote for Senator McCain, just as it was not okay to vote for George W. Bush or Richard Nixon.  Many lives and the future of this country are at stake.

I urge you to watch these two conventions, and the debates between the candidates.  And, I am convinced that if you do, with an open mind, listening to both candidates (or all four presidential and vice presidential candidates of the two major parties) that you will change your mind yet again and you know, that will be okay.  Really.
