I’d written back in February about my relative indifference regarding Clinton and Obama, and had discussed the good and bad points of each. In balancing these back at the time, neither came out as a favorite. I have finally made a decision on who I support as the Democratic nominee. I am supporting Obama, but that support is less than dramatic than that expressed by many of his supporters.

It’s a tie, one is a politician and the other a criminal…might be hard to tell the difference I admit.

We have already held the primary here in Florida, but of course our vote didn’t count (more on that in a minute). At the time John Edwards was still in the race, and I voted for him. I believe he was the most sincere candidate running, and he seemed to have the most radical ideas for change, and some radical change is needed. Of course you know he’s out now, and it’s down to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. So who will I be voting for in the general question? Well frankly, I’m still debating who I hope gets there for the Democrats.

This is a clip of Chris Matthews talking with Club For Growth’s Pat Toomey and Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins about the divisions within the Republican Party. All they seem to able to discuss is how most of the Rethug candidates aren’t conservative enough.

Well, I guess they’re not, but you’d think the election was all but over given the importance the news channels gave to the Iowa Caucus this week. A couple hundred thousand people voted, and you’d think we could hold the conventions next week given the hoopla given this one caucus by the 24 hour news channels.

It seems that Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee has a little bit of a Michael Vick problem. He’s apparently worked to cover up the fact that his then 18 year old son and another teenager got fired from working at a Boy Scout Camp back in 1998. Seems they caught a stray dog, hung it, slit its throat, and stoned it for good measure.

I only caught the tail end of the report, but it appears, based on what I was hearing on WRAL that in a statement in his State Bar hearing, Durham DA Nifong announced that he was going to step down as DA. According to the WRAL reporter, he was “nearly in tears.”
