I think he's the last best hope with Edwards and Kucinich out of the race (alas!)<BR/><BR/>I still struggle with the HRC vote by clothespin due to the Supreme Court Issue, but I will say I am <I>sooooo</I> done voting for the triangulating Clintons! I made it out of the 90's alive and I don't want a rerun ...Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575688.post-758151313441347092008-02-02T22:03:00.000-06:002008-02-02T22:03:00.000-06:00l had not heard that about muckasey's orwell portr...l had not heard that about muckasey's orwell portrait…how <I>apropos</I>. that aside, well said.<BR/><BR/>l'm in total agreement with your entire essay, but now that edwards is out, it's obama, by default.<BR/><BR/>imo, clinton will not be elected should she prevail and get the nomination. the most likely result of that will be 4 more years…minimum…of the <I>status quo</I> because of the negative <I>coattails</I> she will bring.<BR/><BR/>l will not hold my nose and vote for her…and it's a moot point here. she'll not win in the mountain west.<BR/><BR/><I>peace</I>dadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06949727917480786306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575688.post-41044435728567854992008-01-28T22:53:00.000-06:002008-01-28T22:53:00.000-06:00Thanks, FAR, for reading.

But seriously, I am very passionate about this particular issue (among others, of course) because spying on your own people is just <I>wrong</I>, just as much as assaulting habeas corpus and torturing people. <BR/><BR/>I'm still up in the air about voting if HRC gets the nod, but at this point I'm still optimistic enough that Obama might just pull it off. In which case, I will celebrate when I fill out my absentee ballot (only way I vote these days, it's just soo much easier and does appear to get counted, at least in these parts).Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575688.post-2882299781131290742008-01-28T09:14:00.000-06:002008-01-28T09:14:00.000-06:00*applause*Very good, IVG.
