Kucinich is unelectable in my opinion, again. It is what it is.

Obama was very clear in a speech in 2002, before the war, that Iraq was a terrible idea. Apparently later in an interview when asked point blank, he admitted in retrospect, hypothetically (I should have packed a lunch for this journey!) he didn't know if he would have voted for the war at the time. A moment of truthfulness and costly sincerity because some his detractors have glommed onto that one sentence uttered in one interview to prove, what? That he wasn't savvy (?) enough to pander? The facts are that (1) He was against the war in 2002 and (2) in a one-sentence reply in one interview indicated uncertainty as to how he might have voted in a hypothetical situation, and (3) he, in fact, did NOT vote for the war and the splitting of hairs in this situation cannot dispel the fact that Hillary and Edwards actually DID VOTE FOR THE WAR.

I want Al Gore to run for a multitude of reasons. I'll have to figure out a reset button because I would be all over his campaign if he runs, but I feel confident in supporting Obama in the interim.

The only thing I know for certain is that a Democrat MUST be sworn in in 1/20/09 and will do everything in my power between now and then to make certain that happens.
