Letter to the editor:

If Clinton loses, Obama our best bet

Tue, May 20, 2008 (2:01 a.m.)

I have in the past year been a steadfast supporter of Hillary Clinton. But I have come to realize that mathematically she cannot obtain the Democratic presidential nomination — unless some unforeseen catastrophe occurs within the Barack Obama campaign. If, indeed, Obama wins the nomination, my allegiance will go to him.

I have come to this conclusion because I cannot vote for John McCain after he responded affirmatively to the outrageous and disgraceful remarks George Bush made in Israel. And when McCain says we will be out of Iraq by 2013, he contradicts what he said about being in Iraq maybe 100 years.

McCain says he is a maverick. I say he is a fence walker. He aligns himself with George Bush when it is to his advantage, then distances himself when it is to his advantage. Voting for McCain is like voting for Bush for four more years.

I will greet Obama with an open mind regarding his positions on health care, financial security, the war in Iraq, and, especially, how he will bring hope and change to this wonderful country of ours.
