Since the right-wing fundamentalists seem to have hijacked my formerly small-government, keep-the-public's-nose-out-of-the-individual's-business party, I just can't get excited about anyone in the election. Sigh. Perhaps I shall start my own party. Yes, I think it will actually be a good thing that a Democrat is most likely to win in Nov.

I'm still on the fence, Obama or Hillary. But honestly, I will vote for whoever the winning dem candidate is. : ) I watched the primary results too! I’m still on the fence, Obama or Hillary.

However you do make a good point about bringing back most of the Bill Clinton cabinet. I'm still leaning toward Obama, however, I would throw all my support toward Clinton if she wins the primaries. I do think that she is getting a really raw deal in regards to media attention to gender stereotypes. So, dispite the fact that her Iraq business pissed me off, I do recognize that she is really under an unfair and inequitable amount of media scrutiny. During the debates, she got "too angry," then the next day she was "too emotional" and had a "breakdown" when her voice cracked a bit. They would not be this analytical about a man (and they aren't). People (most) are playing the Obama race thing pretty well. But it is still okay to knock Clinton based on gender stereotypes. I will say that after the "emotional breakdown," Obama was asked about it and refused to comment, whereas Edwards said some lame ass thing like, "you have to be tough to hold the office of the president." (paraphrase). Anyway, I didn't think that was cool on Edward's part, but I thought Obama saw it for the shit question it was and was right to not play into that. So, he earned points from me there. But it does look good to be a democrat, now. Even though I'm usually to the left of the part even. But I'll take what I can get! I was upset with Clinton in regards to her Iraq war vote, still am.
