Anybody Else Have This Problem?
I know I do. I don't like being an undecided voter. I suppose one of my problems was being a die-hard Clarkie, and therefore having tunnel vision when it came to looking at other other candidates. My second choice was/is Al Gore. That looks to be a tease like the potential Clark candidacy was. Why do I always root for the good guy underdog? What is my problem? Why can't that person be the "front runner," just once? I find myself reading less, being less involved/active than I was earlier, watchingless t.v. (politically speaking of course), etc. I know I need to get over my preferred
candidate(s) non-candidacy, but it's hard. Guess who I'm looking seriously at now? Kucinich of course. I'm doomed, and it feels like this country is too. Maybe I'm wrong.

2. It's a moot point for me.
Ohio doesn't vote until March. By then the nominee will be known.

3. That's Just the Shits, Isn't It?

4. Not to Worry
You are keeping an open mind and learning something new each day about the candidates. You are a conscientious citizen, and will make an informed choice.

It's the ones that take a stand early and hold on in the face of any setback that worry me.

5. Look on the bright side, Dinger.
The Chimperor will soon be out of office!

And, we have a good chance of electing a Democratic president, and keeping a Democratic majority in Congress. If we can strengthen that majority, some real progress is at least possible. We haven't seen that in a looooong long time.

I know what you mean about not working for a campaign, after throwing ourselves into the Clark campaign last time. I like Kucinich too, but was really disappointed in his remarks about forging unity with Republicans by running with Ron Paul! Just wrong on so many levels! If the primaries are over and done by the time Maryland's rolls around, I might vote for him anyway, but geeeeez...

6. I've been a Kucinich guy for the past two go arounds
Of course he doesn't have a shot, but I think there should be people like him in the picture until their ideas start to get a foot hold and they are taken seriously. It's happened here at DU. Last time Kucinich supporters here were considered "cute" and Dean, a moderate, was the guy everybody was rooting for. Look at us now.
