I have discussed the candidates with several friends, mostly lifelong Democrats, college-educated women in their 40s and 50s. We just cannot buy what Barack Obama is selling. Many of us are facing the possibility of, for the very first time, voting for the Republican nominee in November. Sen. Obama does not charm me (the more I watch and listen to him, the less I like him) and is clearly not qualified to be president at this time. He needs many more years of experience and a long track record which can be evaluated before I would consider voting for him. If the Democratic Party makes Sen. Obama its nominee, we will be sorry. Should Sen. Obama be elected President, we will all be very disappointed and very sorry.
