I’ll get this out of the way up front. I voted for Ron Paul in the republican primary. I tend to be pretty liberal socially, and fairly conservative economically. Make your judgements, etc. I don’t really care that much. (though if you want to rationally discuss any of this, I’m game. I love civil discourse about politics)
Anyway. . . .
At this point, I really hope Obama wins the nomination. He is the only one of the major party candidates that I wouldn’t absolutely despise voting for. He’s the only candidate who voted against the war, though I’m not entirely convinced it wasn’t a hedge so he could say “I voted against the war” during the primaries. Other positions he has just makes me scratch my head.
I want him to win because I think he is FAR better than the other two major party choices, but he is not someone I actually “want” to be president. I follow Dave Winer on twitter and it seems like every other post from him is some form of “Obama is teh awsome.” I’d say “Obama is better than the rest of the pile of suck” but far from awsome. (I do appreciate the articles that Dave posts, I f ind many of them interesting lunchtime reading)
