It's UNCANNY (imho) how accurately that reflects my own opinions after hundreds of hours reading, researching, watching, and listening. Kucinich was the only candidate that came close to espousing the kind of sane, "Win-Win" policies that I support. Edwards was a distant second - with the single biggest problem of his vote on the IWR. (For which he unconditionally apologized, without weasel words.) Both Kucinich and Edwards accurately identify the pernicious corruption of corporatism - fascism with up-to-date clothing and better PR.

Obama's policy positions are, imho, only marginally better than Clinton's - and he doesn't suffer the glaring fault of surrendering Congress's Constitutional power to declare war - given to a pathological narcissist to do for no legitimate reason. Obama has run a decent campaign - which is orders of magnitude more than I could say for Clinton, whose campaign is a total clusterfuck.

Richardson was Secretary of Energy (after Hazel) when I worked for a DOE contractor as a Research Scientist. The DOE was an out-sourced joke, and still is, with contractors given virtually unhindered (and fraud-redolent) access to the taxpayers' money. He might seem to be a decent enough fellow, but he's NO manager/administrator and NO watchdog over the People's resources.
