1. Shameless self-kick just to make sure a decent sample is obtained.

but I will vote for the Democratic candidate.

6. Neither
I'm hoping for an open convention and the subsequent nomination of someone who can win in November.

8. I think they both suck.
But your sarcasm for the undecided is way out of line.

I don't like Hilary cause I think she is republican lite.

I don't like Obama cause he's afraid to say it like it is and instead uses mushy words like hope and bipartisan. When he should be saying things like economic slavery of the middle class and sanctioned torture by the administration.

But I'll hold my nose, vote Democratic and pray that we can push the new Democratic President to the left and make them do the adult thing.

15. neither . . . for a whole variety of reasons . . .
not the least of which is that either will ensure a close enough election to allow the Republican tabulators to work their magic in a few key states -- just enough to put McCain in the White House . . .

also, both are way too corporate-dependent to accomplish anything of real value if by some miracle they were actually elected . . . you think Hillary will take on the insurance and pharmaceutical industry? . . . think Obama will be able to out-maneuver the oil companies, arms merchants and mercenaries to actually end the war? . . . not a chance . . .

finally, these two have sufficiently shredded each other that the Republican ads are already written . . . many of them will include Hillary (if Obama is the nominee) or Obama (if Hillary is the nominee) . . . they both seem to adhere to "it's me or no one" as an underlying campaign objective . . . and there are enough angry supporters of both to ensure that many will stay home -- or even vote for McCain -- if their candidate is not the nominee . . .

how we ended up with this forced choice is beyond me . . . I'll probably vote for the nominee -- but I hope to hell it's Al Gore . . .
