Obama or Clinton? Steinem's view.

I have to say, I was happy to see that Hillary Clinton took the New Hampshire primary. But at the same time I am a wee bit relieved that I havent had to choose yet - I am not sure which Democrat I want to see in the big race. Although Senator Edwards consistently harangues that he is the most progressive Democrat seeking presidency (besides poor Kucinich who seems to not really count in anyone's real estimation), the extent of his populist protective trade policies are suspect to me. But perhaps international political economy could be the subject of another post. The point here is that I am not sure if I would vote in a primary for Clinton or for Obama, but my reaction to Clinton's recent win makes things a bit more clear: I think Clinton it is. I also enjoyed Gloria Steinem's op-ed piece in the NYT today . (As she points out, "to clean up the mess left by President Bush, we may need two terms of President Clinton and two of President Obama" anyhow) Taking her cue, perhaps I should finally say that I support Senator Clinton because she would make a great president, and because she's a woman. Like many, I am just not sure about the big, most important race. Would Senator Obama be more likely to win over the entire (or enough of) the country? At least I feel reassured that the republicans look so lost right now that our chances, under any scenario seem good. But things change mighty fast.
Read that Steinem op-ed.
