I'm VOTING For The DEMOCRAT!
Or:

Can't we all just get along?

I'm going to vote for the Democratic nominee in November. No question about it. There's nothing you could threaten me with to get me to vote for McCain or another Bush surrogate.

I favor Obama.

His best speeches have power.

The power to make you think. The power to inspire. The power to lead.

If Obama gets the nomination, I will excitedly vote for him! It's exactly what we need!

And if Hillary gets the nomination, I will still vote Democratic!

I'm not really excited by her, but the thing to keep in mind is the courts. The Republicans are strangling the courts. I forget the exact number, but I think I heard on TV that GWB has appointed something like half the active federal judges in the country.

Roe Vs. Wade is in serious jeopardy of being overturned. If Republicans get to appoint the next Supreme Court justice, it's gone. And armed with the appropriate case, the current Court could torpedo Roe.

Plus a whole lot of stuff that I think is even more important than Roe.

Number One: Habeas Corpus.

Torture.

Spying On Citizens.

Etcetera.

In summary, I hope Barack gets it, but if Hillary does, I'm going to vote for her.

(And I'm going to knock off this juvenile trash talk). ;)
