| And the Coveted Finnfan Endorsment goes to.... |
|
Edited on Tue Nov-25-03 12:10 AM by Finnfan
... Carol Moseley-Braun.
Why? Several reasons. For one thing, I like her universal health care proposal. A lot. I like her stance on the Iraq War. And out of all the candidates, I think that she is the most intelligent and Presidential.
I would be lying if I said that I wasn't also attracted to the fact that she is an African-American woman. I think she could bring a much needed new perspective to the office.
Finally, I like underdogs. I like underdogs so much that I don't even favor the underdogs that everyone else like (in our case, Kucinich). I know that it is an extremely long shot, but until it is over, I'm going to throw my time and money, limited as both are, behind Carol.
Rest assured to all that I will throw the same support behind whomever wins the Democratic Primaries.

True confession: I'm undecided.

I would be VERY proud of my government. I haven't been able to say that for aWHILE...

Although I'm a DK supporter, I would be delighted if she got the nomination. She has a certain "gentle strength" vibe that I feel good about.

| 8. She will be one of the big winners of this campaign |
|
It has raised her political profile again and in an entirely positive way.

| 9. Whoa! I was wrong. I thought for sure it'd be DK. |
|
Or Neil Finn.
I like CMB too, especially the healthcare ideas.
