thilly thenny

me (8:56:26 PM): hey hey… long time

me (8:56:28 PM): how are you?

Not me (8:56:44 PM): good, and you?

me (8:56:50 PM): good

me (8:56:54 PM): what are you up to?

Not me (8:57:22 PM): nothing, just writing, watching sex and the city

Not me (8:57:24 PM): u?

me (8:57:38 PM): super tuesday news, twittering like mad

me (8:57:49 PM): are you still in brooklyn?

Not me (8:58:15 PM): yeah, yeah

Not me (8:58:22 PM): who u rooting for?

me (8:58:41 PM): nice. have to admit i’ve never been… but so want to

me (8:58:45 PM): hillary. you?

Not me (8:59:03 PM): obama

me (8:59:15 PM): most ppl seem to be

Not me (8:59:24 PM): they’re really pushing for him here

Not me (8:59:34 PM): I just don’t trust Hillary

Not me (8:59:45 PM): she’s too much of a washington insider

me (8:59:56 PM): that’s what i like about her b/c i trust that she can get ish done

me (9:00:04 PM): and really start running

Not me (9:00:20 PM): I trust that she’ll work in her interests

Not me (9:00:33 PM): I don’t see why she wouldn’t

me (9:01:20 PM): true, but hillary is better to deal with foreign affairs

Not me (9:01:47 PM): see I don’t trust that

Not me (9:01:58 PM): I don’t think she’d be flexible enough

me (9:02:53 PM): i just remember learning in mgmt that for crises, strong leaders are necessary to make decisions and i think hillary is that person

me (9:03:18 PM): during peace time, i’d be more than happy to vote for a more inspirational candidate like obama

Not me (9:03:45 PM): yes but Obama is a leader but his style isn’t as militaristic as hers

Not me (9:03:54 PM): it’s a more sophisticated approach

Not me (9:04:13 PM): I think it couldd generate and implement foreign policies in ways we haven’t seen

Not me (9:04:19 PM): sort of quiet and subtle

Not me (9:04:34 PM): instead of bullying people into working for our interests

me (9:05:18 PM): i think that hillary has the experience and insight to reach the foreign leaders that she needs to w/o coercion

me (9:05:35 PM): vs. obama who doesn’t seem to have that

Not me (9:05:46 PM): yes but her experience is based on precedent

me (9:05:57 PM): california poll: clinton wins better comander in chief by large margin….

Not me (9:06:03 PM): that I think ultimately doesn’t serve our country well

Not me (9:06:17 PM): I saw that

me (9:06:26 PM): there’s always precedent though… i think for people to believe that obama can whipe the slate clean and restart is naive

Not me (9:07:07 PM): I think Hillary’s saying her advantage is being familiar with the way we’ve always done things

Not me (9:07:23 PM): but I think the way we’ve always done things isn’t that effective

Not me (9:07:48 PM): or is ultimately bad for the country even if we can’t immediately see the affects

Not me (9:07:54 PM): effects

me (9:08:20 PM): i agree with your initial statement, but i don’t think that she’s there to keep things as is

me (9:08:41 PM): she’s also a change agent in this election and if she becomes pres, she’ll use her knowledge to follow her passions

me (9:09:13 PM): yes, her stating she’ll fully fund veterans care…ehh but she will use her power to give us universal healthcare, fight poverty, better education, etc.

Not me (9:09:23 PM): I think the same of Obama but I think we’ve seen what Hillary can do

Not me (9:09:38 PM): whereas i think we’ve only seen a glimmer of what Obama can do

Not me (9:10:22 PM): and I want a president who’s eloquent and innovative

me (9:10:35 PM): exactly, i like knowing what to expect; i especially enjoy that hillary’s outlined her goals and timeline

me (9:11:04 PM): and i’m not favoring an experienced president who can clean up bush’s mess

Not me (9:11:34 PM): yes but she’s never been president. I think that is definitely an asset but who can say her plans will work until she sees the extent of the issues from the presidential vantage point

me (9:11:52 PM): of course

Not me (9:12:26 PM): I think it’s great that she’s forward thinking where obama has been largely vague on that front

me (9:12:41 PM): exactly

me (9:12:53 PM): and i think that hillary can learn to be less stiff and more personable

me (9:13:17 PM): but if i had to choose, i’d pick the experienced leader, who’s ready to go

Not me (9:13:17 PM): but her plans are sort of like just plans at this point

me (9:13:27 PM): vs. no plans

me (9:13:38 PM): it’s like having medium term goals

Not me (9:13:44 PM): obama has been ramping up his policy talk

me (9:13:45 PM): they’re likely to change, but it’s nice to have them

me (9:14:00 PM): and what direction to head

Not me (9:14:52 PM): but it’s not like Obama has no experience

me (9:15:09 PM): btw i just read an article the other day that says obama has a better chance against mccain

Not me (9:15:44 PM): that would be a tough race

me (9:15:57 PM): i think the next 4 years is a lot of repair before change, and hillary’s more about concrete changes, vs. changes we’d like to make

me (9:15:59 PM): ditto…

Not me (9:16:01 PM): I think both clinton or obama could work against him

me (9:16:07 PM): ca: mccain/clinton…. supposedly

Not me (9:16:55 PM): at this point, what’s the difference between “concrete” and potential changes?

Not me (9:17:10 PM): that’s interesting

Not me (9:17:19 PM): I thought obama would take cali

me (9:17:44 PM): they’re the same b/c nothing can really be concrete

me (9:18:00 PM): although i have to say seeing a president act day to day first hand is good faux practice

Not me (9:19:41 PM): that’s true

me (9:19:59 PM): i thought so too b/c all online=obama and there’s tons of tech ppl here

Not me (9:20:04 PM): but didn’t George W kind of have that?

me (9:20:08 PM): but supposedly the latin vote is for hilary

Not me (9:20:23 PM): yeah they’re seeing that in new mexico and arizona

me (9:20:23 PM): i don’t think he was that involved in his father’s presidency

me (9:21:07 PM): and i have a feeling you can take any stereotypical partying rich boy and replace bush

Not me (9:21:35 PM): seriously

me (9:22:03 PM): i think clinton’s autobio heavily swayed my vote towards hillary

Not me (9:22:13 PM): i guess no other candidate has that intimate knowledge

Not me (9:22:22 PM): I haven’t read it, what does he say about her?

me (9:22:39 PM): she’s extremely hardworking (duh) but also very vocal, dominant and involved

me (9:23:02 PM): i think bill would also make a great embassador as the First Gentleman

Not me (9:23:20 PM): that’s true

Not me (9:23:35 PM): but Michelle Obama is pretty accomplished in her own right

me (9:23:37 PM): i think she’s more ambitious than bill but hadn’t been able to truly express that b/c of her sex

me (9:23:46 PM): i agree. read a couple of articles about her

Not me (9:23:50 PM): oh that’s definitely true

me (9:23:55 PM): i think that michelle and hillary have a lot in common

Not me (9:24:00 PM): hillary definitely has to hold back

Not me (9:24:19 PM): yeah, I think either winner would bring a dynamic duo to the white house

me (9:24:58 PM): sometimes i feel like bill stifled the people around him for his own ego… i.e. al gore

me (9:25:07 PM): so ppl don’t really see hillary
