So if I like Obama today, but Clinton tomorrow and Edwards the next day, am I an asshole?
Last night I jumped over to Obama's side. Today I am back to Edwards. For a few minutes each day, I cheer Clinton on then I sidle over to Edwards again but then end my day thinking Obama is the only one I want to support.

I have til 1/29 to make up my mind. Once I vote for one of them, will I be considered a traitor, racist, misogynist, freeper, asshole?

9. You're a non-decision-making non-decision maker.
:P

Seriously though I don't think it "makes" you anything, other than happy with the top three, which I think is good news, really.

11. Exactly.
Of course you're not. They're good candidates, take your time.

It's not football, no one is going to accuse you of jumping on a bandwagon if you just got the bumpersticker in time for the playoffs.

I'd take ANY of those 3 over the shitpile that is the Republican party.

You're only an asshole if one of those days you like a Republican. :D

17. Perfectly normal during a primary
Unless you have some real attachment to any particular candidate, I see no issue with hearing what each has to say. Much of what they say is posturing so it's difficult to see the "real" candidate unless you really pay attention.

24. Actually, I think that's precisely why poll results are matching election results...
A lot of people, I think, won't really know who they're going to vote for until they go into the voting both and cast their vote for for her/him.

25. sounds like a popularity contest
take your time settling in on one, but if you're that fickle maybe it's not about the issues for you.

Thank you for lightening up the place a bit.
too serious childish insults are not as fun as whimsical over the top faux battles.

that all our Democratic candidates are great. :thumbsup:

You have the right not to tell anyone who you voted for. That includes here.

trash yours even if I wanted to though - you're kinda fickle! :P
