A vast majority of you make me sick.  I've read comments like "I don't really know why I like him.  I disagree with him on most issues but he seems like a nice guy."  PEOPLE!  These are the EXACT SAME COMMENTS PEOPLE MADE ABOUT BUSH IN 2000!

Who exactly supports Obama but disagrees with him on most issues?

More to the point (for these people exist), given the sadly tiny differences on the issues, wouldn't they disagree with Hilary on the issues too?

For that's the main reason why this primary has shown some nasty splits - the issues don't help you decide much, so you go by the one candidate's race (white boy with tan. Bad. Prefer white boys without tan.) or the other candidate's ridiculous right-wing-republican-created image or her husband's track record as measured against your expectations.

This is very, very true.

I do, at least on a number of issues. I don't support him just because "he seems like a nice guy" though. There's more to it than that.
