21. My opinion is pretty close to yours

I'd like to see a variety of candidates regardless of whether people say they can win. I would say I'd be highly unlikely to vote for her in the primary.

Then again the primary for Oregon is in May and most of the time the nomination is decided far in advance of that (2008 was the rare exception).

As you said, it all depends how things work out. I'm certainly not ready to say who I'll vote for nor be cowed into it by people who want to force their opinions down your throat. If I wanted that I'd go to church.
