I am so torn....

I really liked Edwards and then the bottom fell out of his campaign...

Now, the pros and cons of both candidates are many...

I honestly can't say who I will vote for come March 4th...

I was leaning toward Obama, willing to take a chance...

But then Clinton started to sound more and more like a true dem...

I don't know...

This whole thing about Obama not being ready is starting to wear as thin as saying Clinton is in the pocket of the DLC...

There really isn't that much different between the behind the scene backers of the two left stading...

For instance, they both have taken more than a quarter of a million in contributions from people who work for or own Goldman Sachs...

Can you say bundle me a bundle baby...

Sigh....

Maybe it's because I am so use to the campaign being over by the time Ohioans get to vote that I was being a little lazy on the issues...

Obama has a lot going for him and the political and policy people he has around him make me feel better...

And the way he handled the press on his plane the day that Mitt dropped made me think that yea, he could be the guy...

The Hallmark fiasco just kind of nudged be away from HRC...

Still, even though he triangulated his way through his presidency, I miss Bill...

But Hillary is no Bill and that's good and bad...


This is starting to remind me a little bit of the 1980 primary race...

Clinton is Carter and Obama is Kennedy...

I was at a statewide fundraiser in early 1980 for the Ohio Democratic Party...

They had an ice sculpture over the empty ice bowl of shrimp (The GOP Shrimp bowl is always filled)...

As Jody Powell started into his keynote speech, the left front leg of the sculpture collapsed and the donkey came crashing down...

It kind of summarized everything for me...

The good news is the Ohio democratic party is in much better shape...

The better news is John McCain is no Ronnie Rayguns...

The bad news is we could have a fractured party on our hands...
