I've been a Richardson guy from the start. Still am - but his debate performances have been a poor surprise, and his campaign seems to be half hearted to be honest. Edwards is sitting in second right now - I like his economic plans - but I have doubts about his fighting style in the GE, and to be honest I'm a bit too low on the progressive scale to be part of his natural constituency it seems. That obviously puts Kucinich and Gravel a bit out of my zone too - though I'd vote for either in teh miraculous case of them being nominated. Obama and Clinton are well known commodities and I'd be happy with either although not a true partisan for either. But I must ashamedly confess I know little beyond the surface about Biden (and Dodd) beyond his low poll numbers and some smattering of his Senate record, which seems, for the most part, reasonably in line with what I'd be happy with.

So what makes him the guy to go for. What is different about his approach, or personality, or politics that could tip me that way? Sincere question. I'm happy to do research but surely some of his fans can give me the signposts on where I should look for good stuff about him?
