I’ve Decided on a Presidential Candidate »

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.
