The only benefit for voting for Hillary will be for herself.
Until the main candidates for the Presidency are official, I will listen to all sides intently and vote for whichever one I feel is best to lead this country.
Although I will say that Hillary will come into the race with a huge handicap on my party if she is the Democratic Party's choice.

Though I have not chosen any candidate this is what I think. Hillary is still the status quo politician. Obama is ok though I don't care for some of his foreign politics.
Now on the more human side. I feel this country has suffered greatly under the fat white boy club. We need to open ourselves up and broaden our view. A woman or non- fat white boy may be the step forward this country desperately needs.

Dennis Kucinich or Ralph Nader
Reason: They still believe in the constitution.
All the rest are bought and paid for corporate whores.
The act of voting for Nader maintains my dignity. I cast my vote in hope rather than fear. My not voting for "more of the same" advances slightly the possibility that democracy will move forward. We need not continue walking in two lines as if lemmings heading over the edge of the cliff.
More people than ever question the broken two party system. More people than ever see presidential elections as frauds perpetrated by a one party system offering two similar options: candidates of privilege and wealth, puppets of megacorps who occupy the government.
The Republican and Democratic parties enable each other for they are beholden to the same cash cows that finance both their campaigns. Every favor deserves a return on investment. Such duplicity of the duopoly brought us the PATRIOT Act, NAFTA, the WTO, No Child Left Behind, and the War on Iraq, which according to Bush ended on May 2, 2003. Advancing democracy requires people having courage in freeing themselves from the electoral prison.

MLK Jr. said it best by judging by the character and not the color of their skin. In my opinion that applies to gender as well.
