Betty McManama, an 87-year-old resident of the retirement center, has carefully followed the Democratic primary. She disagreed strongly with Mr. Wright’s remarks about the United States government, but she said she did not believe the senator should be punished for them. She said she felt that questions of religion, patriotism and values were an excuse.“I think there’s a certain percentage of people who won’t vote for him because he’s black, and I think that’s a shame,” said Ms. McManama, who started the day on Thursday not sure which Democratic candidate to support. But after meeting Mr. Obama, she said: “I’m leaning toward him. How could you not?”
In all seriousness, I know we have at least a few Clinton supporters among our readers. If they'd be so kind to give some reasons to vote for her over Obama -- without resorting to "Bittergate" or Reverend Wright -- I'd appreciate it.
