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.
