Well he said before the Iowa caucus that if he wasn't viable, go to Obama. HOWEVER, in my district they all went to Biden. Is he still in? (I know NOTHING about him.)
Let me make this clear- I'm aware its going to be either Obama or Clinton in November. I don't dream for a minute anyone else is going to end up with the Dem nomination. However, I was planning on voting for Kucinich in the primary, to record my support for him.
Obama has let me down on a fair few things since he was elected, but I really don't care for Clinton. Dunno, maybe I need to explore the independents.
Biden is gone. I liked him. But mostly because he was the person with the most in-depth expertise about Iraq.
They're all pretty imperfect. I am tentatively supporting Obama. But I keep coming back to the notion that Clinton could be our Tricky Dick or Maggie Thatcher, someone evil enough to get the job done, except more or less on our side. Plus, you know, the more Teh Media hates her, the more I'm prone to vote for her. But Obama's politics of hope is smarter and more practical than it looks, and I think he'd be the most likely to priviledge expertise over ideology and cronyism when he picks his advisors.
violachic, you have GOT to be the only one I know following the US elections on al-Jazeera.net. :D
