I just watched CNN's clip of John Kerry stumping in South Carolina for Barack Obama, giving his endorsement in an emphatic and lively manner. If only the dumbass had had this kind of fire four years ago! Once Obama took the stage and thanked Kerry, he went on to espouse the former candidate's virtues, and so again I had to wonder, what if someone stumped for him in that dramatic, charismatic way Obama has about him? Obama defended Kerry better than he had when he was running back in '04. Well, I guess anyone defending Kerry back then would have done a better job, seeing as how the weakling just rolled over and died, not even trying to de-bunk the blatant smear attacks against him.
I honestly have no real preference at this point, when it comes to Hillary, Obama, and Edwards. I just want one of them to run and beat whatever sacrificial turkey the GOP offers us; any of them will be a big step forward. And once in there, I want whoever it is to appoint the mighty mouse DK (Dennis Kucinich) to a cabinet position. Get this fantastic guy into a place where he can do some good, because he's brilliant and would be great for the country. And this way we can also keep his wife in the spotlight (cough... okay, I mentioned DK, so by law I have to make note of his hot wife).

I must beg to differ as far as the three most promising Democratic candidates. Barak Obama is by FAR the most preferable candidate. Edwards is just plain wrong on fundamental economics, and Hillary Clinton is a Statist. I don't trust her to pull out of Iraq, I don't trust her to not attack Iran, and I think she wold LIKE having the Patriot Act, because of what the additional powers would allow her to DO.
If Obama is the Democratic nominee, I will vote for him in preference to any of the Republicans. If Edwards is the nominee, I will probabaly stay home and not vote. If Clinton is the nominee, I would have to consider voting for a Republican, just to do my best to keep her hands from the reigns of power.
Ha! If you vote for the Republican candidate for Pres/VP, it won't count, seeing as how Massachusetts will always go for the Demo. Hooray for the electoral college! Your vote is NOT equal to others, citizen!
