As one writer says, ” I am amazed that I, as an independent voter, do not seem allowed to have a mind of my own…no one, not even Ms. Clinton, can or should be able to dictate to me how to vote. I will not vote for Mr. Obama, not because I am bitter but because I do not believe that he is at all qualified for this job.

His lack of experience in every area of importance was of great concern to me during the primaries and still is.

I am a Democrat, but I am an American first and I will vote for the candidate who, I believe, will be the best leader for our country, especially in these dangerous times. Whoever loses the election, it will be because the majority of voters have concluded that he was not the best candidate for the job and not because Ms. Clinton’s supporters did not fall into line.”
