As to why we should thank all that is holy that the Clinton stranglehold might be weakening ..is weakening but enough?

And I am not just fanatically against her..I really to like Obama..domestically I think he would be as good as it gets...internationally I have serious doubts as I believe in a strong strong defenese and I am not convinced he sees that..although I think he would strengthen the military...and I think he is a little naive thinking just lowering the cost of insurance would mean everyone would flock to get it..huge numbers of people..particualrly single..would gamble that they wouldn't need it or that someone would pick up the bill somehow..so I am for a mandate..sliding scale, free of course for the poverty-stricken..sliding scale for working poor, middle class etc..with enough copay to sting a little but not ruin people and good catastrophic coverage. No fertility treatments at all. No purely cosmetic surgery etc. mg
