It's time to reinstate the literacy requirement for voting.

The man has two wholly transparent characteristics: (1) he stands for absolutely nothing, and is a pure opportunist; and (2) he would sell his own daughter into slavery if it benefited him.

Now that, that's really good.

I'm for Obama. I like his message on a lot of things, but I'm pissed that he took the expediency route on tax policy. I wonder if he's got enough experience for foreign policy, but I can't think of a single Republican other than McCain who does and I disagree with Hillary.

In general, I think he'd do the least harm, and if he got enough of a majority, he might actually be a force for change.

I'm not committed yet. But I consider it an abundance of riches - I truly like both Hillary and Obama. I have not warmed to Edwards.

Likely the qualities winning him the "racialist" vote.

How can you not be? The only thing left for either of them - hell, any candidate - to do is fuck up. Their positions are set.

It's hard to warm to a screamer, particularly if you have ever worked in a law firm.

That fits the ones I knew -- but it was a very small sample size.

Actually, this sums up Edwards quite well.

I am FOR Hillary in a lukewarm sense. (Which may be your point.)

As for the others, I like Obama a lot but have concerns. I have many more concerns about Edwards, and like him less. I would be happier with HRC than with either of these two.

As a general rule, I spend money on general elections, not primaries. And so I don't have to make up my mind until it's time to walk into the polling booth a few weeks from now. If I had to make up my mind today, I'd vote for Hillary based not just on her experience, but also on her constancy over the years and the impressions I've had meeting her. She had a depth of knowledge about some of the issues we were discussing that was impressive on any level and rare in a politician. She is clearly presidential timber.

I have not yet met Obama, and if he can stand up over time, and can keep running a campaign like he is now, he might well be even better.

I like Obama. He's the only one in the field that I can stand listening to anymore.

Among his other sins, I think Edwards has jumped the shark recently with his All Populism, All the Time message.

I cannot bear the thought of reliving the Clinton Drama for another 4 to 8 years.

On the Republican side, Romney is a cipher, and a transparent one at that, but it seems that he has the potential to be a competent president if it comes to that.

I admit to liking McCain a little because, well, I still have a soft spot for the guy, despite the neoconservative knucklehead that he's turned out to be.

Huckabee is fun to watch, in part because he'll play a role in destroying what's left of the Reagan coalition, but he doesn't really know what he's doing as a candidate, and he's not gonna win anything in any event. He'll have his day in the sun in Iowa, and maybe South Carolina, but far as I can tell, he doesn't have anything approaching a national campaign apparatus, and I think you still need one to actually win a nomination.

I would like HRC more if she weren't in a permanent defensive crouch. She may even have good reasons for the posture, given all the shit she's received over the years, but that doesn't mean I want to vote for her.

He seems like a genuinely nice guy. I'd invite him to dinner, but wouldn't vote for him

Given his background, it comes across as satire

You ain't kidding, although she is the most "leader-like" of the Dems

I don't disagree with the cipher comment, but I think it's an unfortunate consequence of candidates all pandering to 250K otherwise unimportant citizens of Iowa.

He's a hero, and gives great TV, but I hate 2/3s of his positions and would rather have a beer with Obama. Or Cheney.

In the end - concur. He's a two-trick pony, if that. Crashes faster than Dean. Or Buchanan.
