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.
