Obama's credibility and experience is questionable, and he's a bit too reactionary for my tastes. Kucinich is a joke. I'd go for Biden before either of them, if he weren't so establishment.

I kinda keep my eye on them getting things done in a moderate fashion, not getting stuck in partisan competition or trying to change the world. Those things never work out well.

Moderation is definitely good when it comes to foreign policy. I don't really know much about Edwards' stance on that stuff though.

Charlie mentioned Obama´s experience. Perhaps an issue. (for me its not).

Jon Stewart some weeks ago was interviewing Obama (I think . . ) and asked, quite aptly, if Hilary´s experience as first lady counts.

That is, does she get "credit" for being first lady?

Regardless, the comment made me crack up since everyone rags Obama for his experience (err inexperience), but never questions Hilary´s .. . she´s got, what, one more term in the senate than him?

If I could vote my conscience I would vote Kuccinich. . .that guy rocks.

This appearance on Colbert is hilarious (what a good sport)

Shamis, right on. Lemme clarify on Kucinich cause I was still kinda drunk w/ that earlier post.

He's about as strong as anyone in my view on domestic policy. I like him as much as anyone for his stances on single-payer health care and all things national, he rocks in that regard. I'm not very comfortable with his plans on international politics or world economy stances. I see him as way too radical for my taste.

His wife is pretty hot though so that's something.
