I was originally leaning toward Obama but his performance in recent "debates" indicate he's just not ready to be president. I'm now leaning toward Clinton.

Hmmmm. Maybe, this was all part of the plan to begin with. Watch things as they unfold. Just a thought.

I dislike just about all of them. After Dreams of My Father, I favored Obama a bit. A little more research revealed that he's just going to be a yet another bland addition to American politics and his war mongering is disturbing. Two party rule is going to be the death of us.

I'd rather cast my vote in the trash can, it seems a lot more meaningful there than behind any of the candidates.

I believe she has the best chance of defeating the Republican nominee, whoever he may be.
