I'm voting for Obama.

[substitute]

I'm not convinced that either of the Democratic front runners will do much to make life here in the U.S. better.

I do think that Obama is likely to be less warlike, and in particular to scale back the war. The choice of candidate may feel disgusting to those of us who wanted a real anti-war candidate or for that matter a real Democrat. However, I feel obligated to do what I can to reduce the horrible carnage overseas.

If my vote contributes to a few thousand less dead, raped, injured, homeless, and impoverished in other countries, it's worth it.

There was Kucinich, and he was immediately marginalized for being an actual American Liberal. Not that American Liberal is anything like a real leftist, but it's now the far let here.

Ted Kennedy is a real one, but he's 1 million years old.

pretty much everyone on this list is, and there are quite a few congress members, etc. so there is hope: http://adaction.org/staff.htm

I liked Kucinich but ya, no way.

I'm for Obama more than Hillary, which isn't much, but enough.

or something.
