Well thank you for the synopsized version. I appreciate it. And I
really did understand all along yours was not a resounding
endorsement, just a lesser-of-evils measurement.
And I'm not in love with Obama because I think he can fix something. I
am just less in love with partisan Republicans crafting policy for the
next four years and beyond via the SCOTUS. I am under no delusions
we're going to get out of anywhere there's a drop of oil left anytime
soon.
Are you supporting (for lack of a better word) HRC as the VP because
of the easy swing of voters, or because she might actually, I don't
know, accomplish something in the slot?
I'd love to see her stay in the Senate. Maybe Nancy Pelosi could take
a little vacation. I'd like to see Chris Dodd have a place in the
mess, somewhere. And if John Edwards isn't Attorney General I am going
to have a little cry.
