195. I'd go with Edwards after HRC, with Obama a very distant 3rd. Piece reflects some of my concerns...
...with Obama. Just that I don't see anything but dull, empty rhetoric where others see glowing inspiration. The guy has not criticised Republicans yet, to my knowledge, but has already dismissed liberals in his book. So I'm past wondering about his support among McCain Repubs and "Democrats".

Does his support among highly educated liberals suggest less of an urgency to get things fixed quickly, and more of a lofty, castle-in-the-air, nebulous idea of "hope" on their part? (And surely haven't read the article in Z magazine, "The Obama Illusion" yet, I suspect - a piece that shows Obama's non-liberal history.) Why does HRC have greater suppport from less educated, truly working and struggling Americans than BO does?
