Why do you support Hillary Clinton? Why do you support John McCain?

To those who support either of those candidates, I ask why? On what grounds can you legitimately and truthfully distinguish between the two candidates?

For those left-leaning individuals who support Clinton over Obama: why? Is it because you believe that she has more "experience" than Obama (a myth that Brian has shattered in previous postings)? If you are attracted to her policies, then to which policies and why are you attracted? Are you a pragmatist who does not want the Republicans to win? If that is the case, I think your arguments are weakest. In numerous polls Obama is shown not only to defeat McCain more soundly than Clinton; but, Obama is relatively more popular than Clinton, as results have shown. In either case pragmatic arguments would favor Obama over Clinton.

For the right-leaning individuals: I have no questions nor words for you but simply to state that you are lost souls.
