experience sells with voters
Cal Crepagnier, a student from the University of Virginia, said Clinton was the best candidate for her 35 years of experience and stance on the economy. He said he thought Obama was very naive with foreign policy.
Crepagnier also said Edwards is disconnected from the average voter.
“He should just drop out,” Crepagnier said.
After finding out the democratic primary was called for Obama, he said winning South Carolina wasn’t on Clinton’s agenda.
“It was expected,” Crepagnier said.
Marta Cook, also a student from the University of Virginia, said Clinton was had the most experience and was “playing to win.”
“She’s not catering to anyone, she’s trying to do what’s best for the country,” Cook said. She said Obama won South Carolina by making promises to a couple thousand people in the state, but Clinton is trying to help the entire country.
She said she understood that Obama is a very exciting candidate, but personally wans’t going to “roll the dice” and take a chance with him.
“We did that with George Bush. Look where that got us,” Cook said. “Hillary as of right now is a sure bet.”
