K Mead, DNC Post 2

1. Hillary Supporters Split

Hilary Clinton had gained a population of voters who had supported her ideas on what the nation needed. The voters did not agree with Obama, and now that he won the candidacy, not many of them are going to votre for him. There was just too much mudslinging in the early campaigning, and now there is a split, one that probably will not be closed. After they both got too far against each other and now don't share the same ideals.

2. Obama Priases Clinton's Speech

Its wierd that politicians will change their minds on subjects that they were hell bent against not a week before. Obama was very against Hillary's opinions, but when she sommends him on his victory and gives him her vote, he accepts her, and praises her. Because of examples like this I don't trust politicians entirely. I want them to have their opinions, and keep them


3. I have been following the DNC because I want to know what the beliefs of Obama are so I decide who to vote for. I went to the Round Table and I heard the ideas of people who are aligned with Obama, and what they thought of his platform. It was interesting that foreign leaders thought the US had a responsibility to get involved although they had no input for what their own countries were doing to fight this problem. Some of the ideas were a little against my own beliefs, but im glad I exposed myself to others ideals.
