It's Coming Down to Personality
There has been much speculation on the differences between the democratic candidates. Is there really a difference on the issues? Or are both Clinton and Obama taking the same stance? Tony Snow, former White House Press Secretary, now a FoxNews political contributor says:
On substance, there’s not a huge difference between her [Hillary Clinton] and Barack Obama on key issues. It comes down to personality. For many Obama voters, it is “we like him.” Hillary Clinton’s trying to make the argument that he is really not quite ready for prime time. … There are things in his background that he has to rectify… Barack Obama’s figured out a couple of things.

If you believe there is no marked difference between the candidates, why do you choose one over the other? Why do you believe in one person’s intents and words, and not another person’s?
Think back to your previous managers, supervisors, or colleagues. The ones you were drawn to? What was the basis for this ‘pull’? Was it their values? The way they talked? The words they used? How they paid attention to what you said? How they made you feel important? How they encouraged and motivated you?
How about those managers that you did not perform your best? How did they make you feel … what did they say [or what did they NOT say]? How did they treat you? Did they support you, or did they ignore you?
What did they say to you … and what did you hear them say?
