32. Not due to party loyalty... Heck, I am an Independent...

But I will vote for pretty much any Democrat that goes on the general election for Presidency at this time.
Republicans are just that damaging. I don't see them being able to run any one that would be even half-way decent.

Saying that, I will support Gore. I wanted him to run during Kerry's time, during Obama's time, but he didn't.

If he does, sure, I'll support him even in the primaries.
