For those of you who are Americans, and especially those of you who are registered Democrats, who are you planning to vote for? I'm trying to be responsible and do my research, and I'm at that stage where I'd like the contributory opinions of those I respect. Who do you like, and why? Who do you not like, and why?

I'm torn in this whole Democratic race. Personally, I like Edwards. His views are most aligned with mine and I think he's personable in a way that a lot of idiot Americans seem to like (which, I suspect is primarily how Bush got elected and re-elected).

Of course, it's become clear that Edwards has essentially no chance of winning the nomination, so I'm forced to find someone else I like.

I suspect that I'll end up leaning towards Obama. Clinton is too divisive; most people either love her or hate her and she has little or no chance of winning over independents. Obama's lack of experience concerns me, though, but at the same time, maybe we need someone new...

Obama for me. Edwards is OK, but he comes across as a little too polished/manufactured (like his Iowa/NH speeches, or really all of his speeches, which reference the same three sob stories he's found during his time politicking). He's also a lost cause. Clinton is similarly phony, plus she has nothing but disdain for young people/voters. Plus--and I'll never forgive her for this--she managed to undermine feminism in about twenty seconds, when she started crying (i.e. behaving like a woman!) and thus won an election. Ugh ( ... )

um, there's an election going on? Wow, I need to watch the news some more! Hee hee! Just kidding. Like my hubby or sister would allow me to be completely apathetic. I dunno who I like though cause I really haven't been paying attention. Anyone want to tell me who to vote for?
