I really preferred Joe Biden, and would probably go for Clinton as my second choice on the Dem side. But, like you, I will give Obama the benefit of the doubt, since he seems to be trying to douse the partisan atmosphere in Washington, and is attracting so many Independents and even some in the GOP who are disgusted with their party.

Its a strange election season, with many Democrats going over to Ron Paul. He even has some black support, which is strange, considering his past writings calling them animals.

However, I don't think Hucklebee is that strong (and in particular, the recent gaffes he made probably would disqualify him for Pres in the general election). I think Thompson's okay but too weak and too lackluster as a candidate, and he's going nowhere (not even emerging, at least not yet, as the leaders are rejected).

No, I don't like Romney and if anything I dislike Giuliani even more.

Bottom line is, I think they're all weak on the GOP side and we're going to get a Dem in the White House next year, for as a non-liberal who will look at GOP candidates I'm not an impressed shopper so far other than I find Huckabee's manner pleasant.

And if Obama is elected, I'm willing to give the guy a chance.

Are you backing Thompson? You can tell me to MYOB if you like, LOL. Just curious, DLS- You don't like Romney and can't stand Huckabee or Giuliani. Are you backing Thompson?

This is dumb; let's wait until February 15 to see how these two gents do overall.

Incidentally, is any of this hype by the GOP establishment in an attempt to get someone other than Huckabee into first place, or make Huck third, in New Hampshire and beyond?

“[Romney] is competing with Barack Obama for Independent voters”

Hahahahahaha. A Dem Lite from Massachusetts who even smiles at you (cannot look serious because cannot be serious?) when trying to tell you solemnly, “I — AM A CON-SER-VA-TIVE” thinks he can get the swing vote from Obama? (Or is he just banking on Clinton's eventually becoming the Dem nominee?)
