I am an Independent and I would have changed my affiliation to Democrat in order to vote for Obama in the Florida primary, but didn’t bother because it wouldn’t count anyway, right? What about us, the Independent voters in Florida?
BTW, I am a 46 year old, Hispanic, Catholic, naturalized citizen who has lived in FL since early 70’s.
Even before Obama launched his run, I was never voting for Hillary. Being an immigrant, I believe in self reliance. I’ve had to work very hard, with no family connections, (or connections of any kind) to be the successful professional that I am today. She just seemed like an opportunistic person, and I agree with you completely that if her last name wasn’t Clinton, she wouldn’t be where she is. It’s all about fairness. And she’s had an unfair advantage, and this isn’t a good message to young women about how to be a successful woman.
She is the opposite of a good role model for women.
