Politics: Practical or Idealist?

I am definitely a Democrat. I won't be able to vote, but, if I could, I'd vote Democrat. I'm very liberal, to the point, in fact, where I'm more liberal than the nominees, but they're closer to what I believe than John McCain.

 

But which candidate to support? Clinton or Obama? Me, I am a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton. Of both the Clintons, really, and some people are upset by the notion of Bill being back in the White House. I'm not. First of all, it's in a different capacity. Second of all, he did great things for this country the first time (and his personal life was none of our business).

 

Obama and Clinton are similar, politically, on the big issues. What we are deciding between is being practical or being idealists. Sure, I might be an idealist in some ways, but I'm also very practical when it comes to politics. Hillary Clinton is a capable, experienced politician. Barack Obama has big dreams, but I don't think he is capable of making those dreams a reality. Therefore, I choose to go with practicality rather than optimist idealism.

 

For the Democrats out there--who have you decided to support, and why? Honestly, I'm quite curious.
