7. How he will vote in the long term in the Senate.
That's why I cannot support the guy right now. Anyway, it's a whole year before anybody has to decide anything about 2008. All these so-and-so 2008 threads, although interesting, are actually meaningless since a lot can and will change before we have to decide anything.

The operative question here might be, why would you select a candidate this far out from the election when you don't even know who's running and who's not?

I'm not ready to decide, but it will very likely *not* be Barack Obama.
