Hi folks!
For those other Independents out there, here is a Q&A of Houston Chronicle reader's questions and Sen.s Clinton and Obama's responses.
My comment and a (since deleted) Clinton supporter's comments below.
-cheers!

Well, Jack Smith, that is certainly an enlightening comment.
Thank you for condescending and belittling millions of people at a swipe. I am certain we all now recognize the foolishness of our thoughts and decisions and appreciate the view you provide into the basis of support for your candidate.
To the point of the article above describing the Candidate's answers to readers' comments:
o I have, for an Idiot, done my best to compare the policy stances of the Democratic candidates. In general they are very similar, with the noted difference that Sen. Obama's positions contain a more pragmatic and less confrontational approach. It appears to be less likely that Sen. Clinton will be capable of forming the concensus necessary to achieve the ends she intends to pursue.
o From an executive perspective, it appears to me based on statements of Sen. Clinton and many of her supporters (present company included) that the tone of a Clinton presidency will not serve well in forming the required coalitions to execute the specific and general goals of the nation.
o It seems quite clear based on the past and current performance of the remaining Democratic contenders that Sen. Obama has both the organizational and technical skills as well as the experience to provide a uniquely positive leadership in modern American politics.
Hopefully the end result of this entire presidential campaign will lead us to a state wherein we can work together to achieve actual accomplishments and unite this long-divided country.

If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary's than they had ever been before or since.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)
Best regards
