Yay Palm Beach Post! So Florida isn't *all* bad. ;)

Yeah, honestly I think the NY Times endorsement actually means less than the PBP endorsement. Mainly because I think the vast majority of regular NYT readers are intellectuals who have already made up their minds. Where as the PBP is a local paper and has more variety in it's readers. So the more regional and local papers that support Obama, the better.

I agree, the Clintons are TOTALLY playing dirty. And as a WOMAN who likes to see the cup half full, I would have preferred it if the first real woman contender played the game on a different field. There is a way to be equally competitive in a more positive, respectful manner. I mean, seriously, her politics may be liberal, but her campaign strategies have Carl Rove written all over them.

You're going to shoot me for this, but here it goes: if it's between Hillary and McCain, I'm voting McCain. And this is why: I think that despite the fact that he says we will have a presence in Iraq for 100 years, he will actually end the war.

There is an accute difference between fighting a war and manning a military post. We've been manning Germany since WW2 and it has become an important post to the US and I think the international community at large. I'm ok if that happens in Iraq. Military personel would be rotated in and out on 1 and 2 year assignments. As the region settles down they may be able to take their families with them the way soliders stationed in Germany and Japan do. It could possibly help us build a better reputation in the Muslim world if we are in Iraq in a way that is respectful, rather than forceful. I think that of all the Republicans, McCain is the only one who can do that.

Also, McCain does support environmental issues. Perhaps not as much as the Democrats do, but MUCH more than the Bush administration. I wish McCain were a little better on women's rights and such, but if all I get is the war and the environment, well, that's a vote I can live with, rather than lowering myself to vote for a backstabbing bitch. I tried to get away from those girls when I graduated high school.
