In 2008 I supported Hillary Clinton over Barak Obama, not because I disliked President Obama, but because I though Hillary would be better placed to get things done.

President Obama has been a reasonably good President, given what headwinds he faced. But, I feel, he could have been better. I feel he fell down exactly where I thought he would - by expecting the Republican Caucus to be reasonable. I think Hillary would have been better.

Now I support Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. Not because I dislike Senator Sanders, but because he doesn't have a history of implementing his vision after two decades in the Senate and his foreign policy understanding seems remarkably light for someone in Congress for two decades. I think Hillary would be a better President.

But I have to respect the voters didn't just choose Bernie in New Hampshire by a little. They decided he was a better answer by a LOT.

I admit to also being not thrilled by a contest between two people who are both beyond retirement age - hell I am only 56 but my mind gets foggy a lot.

Oh well, at least MarcoBot 2000 was exposed as a fraud.
