Well, I voted.
I voted for Obama. I hope I don't come to regret my decision.
I realized two things over the last few days:
1) One of the reasons this is so hard is that it's the first time I've ever felt that my primary election vote actually mattered. Usually, the contest has been over by the time I voted.
2) I like the idea of Hillary more than I like what she actually stands for. I also think she's smarter, more knowledgeable, and more familiar with how to actually get things done as President. On the other hand, I find myself in closer agreement with Obama's actual views, and I have a greater confidence that he means what he says.
So, it was a tough call.
