I'm for Obama, myself, but Richardson is a strong backup . . . Edwards coming in third . . . now the question is, how to best stop Hillary?

I think Edwards and Hillary will stop eachother and go down in a sudden pounce and eye-scratching routine. I have faith that this will be so. Which is somewhat sad since I used to like Edwards. Now he just seems spineless, and my judgement is based on his own words in a prolonged debate.

It might happen. I'm not betting the farm on it, but it's possible.

You really think Edwards has gone spineless? It looks to me like he's done a lot better work since 2004 in shoring up his base (mostly because he's got the time, being out of office).

Obama just seems like the right candidate for the time. He's not a boomer, he's African and American without being "African American" (a term I hate), he's black but not running as "the black candidate", he's smart, he's from a central state, and for a freshman Senator he really knows his stuff.

About the only thing I have against Obama is that he, Hillary, and Edwards when they were debating ran as almost one person. Nearly always had the same carefully managed position on everything. After Bush I really don't want to feel that I'm voting for something prepackaged.

Richardson probly has packaging, but it didn't show in the the debate and he's been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 4 times. We could use that kind of diplomat with experience in foreign relations.
