I'm running out of candidates.
I really, really wanted Russ Feingold to run, but I understood his position that he could do better work from his Senate seat. I replaced him with the hope that Al Gore would run. The bumper sticker is still on my truck.

The longer Gore held out I kept looking. I"ve met Kucinich and Edwards several times, and have had long private conversations with both. I've also talked with Dodd and Biden at length. Dodd, I feel is a knowledgeable man with honor and courage, but he never caught on. Joe Biden is a bullshit artist of the first magnitude.

So, I sent money to Kucinich, knowing he was going nowhere, but to keep him in the race and talking about things nobody else wanted to address. Then I voted for Edwards in the Florida primary.

Well, now he's gone, and we're left with 2 candidates. And I don't particularly like either of them. I'm not trashing anybody. They're just not my cup of tea.

So, I'm officially undecided.

5. I could vote for either. But, I think that would be a curse.
My track record isn't sterling.

13. Dr. Phool,
I have gone through so many candidates, in this and other elections, I am convinced I am a large, black anchor dragging my candidate down to their concessions speech.

17. Absolutely nothing!
Me and Jim Clarke bought a carry-out Italian restaurant and pizzaria in Tampa a few months back. It kept us pretty busy. I sold my share to him last week.

So, now I;m working on my house and golf game.

16. Me Too
Either of the remaining candidates would be an improvement over any of the Repiglickins, but that's not saying much.

I was rooting for Gore to get in from the start.
He didn't.

I voted early for Edwards, and he dropped out two days after I voted.

I'll hold my nose and vote for the Democratic nominee in November, but I'm afraid that neither of them can beat McCain.
