Sherri Shepherd remains undecided, but leaning toward Hillary Clinton
After she nearly missed the deadline for registering to vote, Sherri Shepherd can finally relax and carefully take the time to decide which candidate to vote for in the primary. Despite the common belief that she is a conservative, Sherri told me in our interview that she may actually vote for a Democrat.
I am still undecided. Joy says I am a liberal conservative, so I am kind of leading to the Democratic side, more than the Republican side. I am leaning toward Hillary Clinton, but I am still just waiting.
I’m still looking because this is the first time in my life that I have been looking at candidates and what they stand for. It seems like everybody is kind of saying the same thing, so I am trying to figure out how to go beyond that. Joy is very into human behavior, so she says “read between the lines.”
Hillary Clinton had a strong impression on Sherri when she came on The View as a guest.
I was very impressed with Hillary Clinton–the power that just emanated from her body, the fact that she remembered everybody on the crew and their name and when she shook your hand, she looked directly in your eye. I am a fan.
This is how Sherri described her reaction when she thought that she had missed the deadline to register to vote absentee:
I was just stressed out about trying to get that (registration in). I was so lucky. You don’t know the panic that I went through to have go and tell these women that I missed the damned deadline for the absentee ballot and I’m on this show where they are talking about this and I can’t even vote. I am in such deep doo-doo. Barbara is going to kill me.

I’m happy for Sherri, in that she got in her absentee registration.
I think it’s great that she is excited about voting, and examining the various candidates, searching for the right one to get her very first vote.
I’m sure she doesn’t need it but,..my advise to Sherri,..just make it YOUR vote, not anyone else’s.

PRIOR POST:For all of you who constantly said Sherri was conservative when I said EH was outnumbered 4 to 1
Maybe it would help if you defined “conservative.” I don’t think Sherri is as easy to pigeonhole or predict as EH, but I would classify many of her views as conservative. And my friend who is a lifelong Democrat was going to vote for McCain over Edwards (which won’t happen now). Does that make her a conservative?
One vote does not an ideologue make.
As I have said many times, my problem with EH isn’t her being conservative. It’s that I don’t find her opinions well-based. You may disagree, but that is my problem with her. I enjoy listening to Dan Abrams, who is fairly conservative on most things. But I learn from him. I find his positions thought-provoking and worth examining. I also know liberals I ignore because I don’t learn anything.
