196. To be honest,

one of my adult children has type 1 diabetes, so the health care crisis is a real threat to us, to his livlihood, to his family's livlihood, including my grandchildren, and possibly a threat to his life, if health care doesn't soon get fixed. So if I thought she had the right policy positions and abilities to deliver affordable health care to all, none of the things that have been said or "alleged" about her in the Huffington Post would be enough for me not to vote for her. And I would not care who she "offends" to get it done. I need results, and soon. I'm not going to assume "abuse", I don't know what her staff's job descriptions are, and in short there isn't enough here for me to say she is unfit. I can see she has made some enemies along the way though, and I would agree she has probably pushed it. She's not perfect, but she might be effective.

That said, if its enough for you, I can respect that. I can agree to disagree. Incidentally, she isn't my first choice, for now, Brown is, if he runs, and I like some other candidates as well. I'm not locked in yet. But I'm going to be listening closely to health care proposals, and judge their feasibility of ever becoming reality; also, taxation. I want the tax scam repealed. Those are my swing issues for the primaries, along with electability.
