Nov 2014

Like most Democrats, I'll be voting for whomever is nominated by the convention. In the primaries, I'll vote for the person I think best represents me and who has the potential to win in the general election. Right now, that looks like Hillary. I don't see Sanders as a potential winner, and I don't think Warren is going to run. Grayson has some baggage that emerged just before the election this year that will probably keep him from running.

Frankly, I can't think of anyone else who is even on the list.

Is Hillary my ideal candidate? Not really. But I can't see anyone else who could win so far. Looking at the Republican clown car list, though, I can tell you that I'll vote and encourage others to vote for whichever Democrat gets the nomination, and I'll do it enthusiastically.

DU? It's going to be a troubling place for the next couple of years. I'll be reading selectively.
