I do not think this is accurate. What record are you referring to as compared to democrats? Sounds like a broadly sweeping generalization that in reality is not the case.

How he stands on the illegal war - important Stance on the legal war, OK
How he stands on gay issues - important Not all issues are the same, nor should they be. That would be bias.
How he stand on a woman's right to chose - important The entire abortion issue needs rethinking. The so-called right to choose without any measurements is antiquated.
How much experience he has - not that important (you don't know how you react until you're faced with those situations) How absurd to suggest predicting actions is unimportant. What the heck is the primary process for? The whole election process is about determining who will do best IN THE NEXT 4 YEARS, not yesterday! Experience may not lead to success, but inexperience almost certainly will not.
How his wife expresses her thoughts - absolutely not important Huh? Can you spell HILLARY? We don't need another spouse who butts in and draws attention away from the work needed to get done. And, I do not want anyone with influence who has very strange ideas/views to be the one doing pillow talk.
How his preacher thinks - absolutely not important. Very important especially given the closeness and apparent endorsements a candidate appears to have given his preacher over the years.
How he smirks or appears over confident - not at all important Agree. but interestingly the left has spent 7+ years whining and wailing about Bush's smirks. Now not important, eh?
Come on folks - get real. That's what i say too.

good to see you, Herrkaiser. I may not agree with everything you say but do like to hear what you have to say..

Also remember that in most states only the registered Democrats are voting in the Democratic primaries. What happens in these states when everyone (Democrats, Republican, Independents) votes in the national election? It will no longer be between Hillary and Obama.

Regarding the get real part....it seems several factors--important ones-- are missing from the list that was posted:
how he plans to solve the education issues
how he plans to deal with health care
how he plans to handle illegal aliens
how he plans to address the growing entitlement crisis
how he plans to create an energy independent nation
So far, not much in the way of plans/programs for these.
