Fair point (none / 0) (#207)

Only difference I have on this is that I don't for a second believe:

a) he truly is like what he represents himself in his campaign (change, different, etc), but more importantly

b) if he really thinks he can "change the tone," "work with the other side," then I think he is sadly mistaken, because the other side doesn't want to work with him.

Which really is the main point why I back Sen Clinton.

I doubt a man who was chosen his path is anything less than what he is representing to us.  He may not be successful but I have no reason to doubt that he believes what he says.  I have friends who work in public interest law who could've had lucrative careers at big firms and not one of them is doing it because they're some sort of undercover conservative prepping for a stealh political career.

Well the other side might not want to work with him, though he has worked with right-wingers on some things, but they also don't want to with Senator Clinton and I think they'll obstruct her out of spite.

Not her fault but I believe that's what would happen.
