Local Republican torn between Obama & Clinton
By Burt Safer | Dealer staff writer    Mon, Feb 18, 2008
 

local_republicanCINCINNATI -  Kenwood Republican Jerry Sanderson is so torn between voting for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the upcoming primary, that he is considering casting a Republican ballot on March 4th.

However, the combination of John McCain as the presumptive nominee on the Republican side, and a few boring county races doesn't give Sanderson much incentive to cast a Republican ballot either. 

"I really can't make up my mind between the two Democrats," says Sanderson, "I agree with the Ohio GOP that Hillary would be easier to defeat in the general election..  But what if I vote for her in the primary, and then she actually does win in November? I would never live that one down."

In an effort to keep Clinton out of the White House, Sanderson says that a vote for Obama is the safest bet.    But according to Sanderson, Obama has the least experience of them all, followed by Clinton and then McCain.

"What really gets me about Hillary is that she's this huge liberal who's been pretending to be a conservative for the last 8 years," says Sanderson.

"But then again, McCain has been pretending to be conservative for the last 4 years, so I guess Hillary does have more experience in that respect."
