Obama is a centrist. So is Clinton, but in the end I think she’ll stand up better to the heat. My position has less to do with Clinton having passed through the gauntlet already than it does this: Obama wants to unite the two parties. That usually translates to a one-sided compromise in favor of the republicans. He’s not even setting his sites on real universal healthcare, so what will his plan look like after the republican machine whittles it down? Hillary has a progressive voting record (aside from the war), a decent platform (better on paper than Obama’s), and a proven ability to walk through fire (well, it improved over time).
