I just love John Edwards.

I know he's not the "in" candidate, not being black, or a woman, or remotely high profile, but my god, he's just so sensible and smart. You ask him a question, and he doesn't give you some charming little anecdote about a sick kid he hugged one day. He just gives you a plan. Getting out of Iraq? Gradual decrease of

Is it okay to say that I'm sort of happy not to live in America?

I mean, politics in Belgium aren't all that either (in fact, we've gone a while now without a real government...imagine that)but Jesus.

I really wouldn't know who to vote for.

[cinnamon_kisses]

Lol, I'd be happy not to live in America, too.

The problem with the US, I think, is that there's so much room to spread out, and people just get kooky when they don't have to interract with a lot of other people. You know, people in the cities are normal. It's the people in the middle that are nuts. Except for me and other like me, who know how to use the Interwebz. :P

It's all give and take, I guess. You go with the one that scares you the least, and hope to god they never elect another Bush.

i love edwards too, and he's my next choice after obama :D

[cinnamon_kisses]

Lol, wonderful icon.

I could be sold on Obama if he'd give me plans. I like plans. :P

I'm still undecided about the candidates right now. But I do know that if Huckabee is elected, I am on the first train to Canada. I can't stand that guy.

[cinnamon_kisses]

Huckabee is...scary. I don't agree with any of his social positions, or with his big plan to beef up the military, but I do give him points for going on the Colbert Report twice. And Real Time with Bill Maher. The man's got balls, at least. Wouldn't vote for him, though.

I'm totally with you for Edwards. He's just...spectacular, and I think his campaigning has definitely improved since last time. I like Obama, too (it's required...I'm from Illinois, he's my senator!), but I feel like he's way too inexperienced to be in charge of the whole country. I'm thinking Obama/ Edwards as VP? That would be more likely than Edwards getting the nomination, but probably still not going to happen. Sadness.

Wow, that was rambling.

[cinnamon_kisses]

He's obviously doing something right, to have beaten Hilary in Iowa. I think it's just too hard for him this time around because all the media is focusing on is the possibility of a black president, or a female president, so they're getting all the exposure. And I can see how Obama is inspiring so many people - but I feel like it's more rhetoric than something real. Like you, I just don't see the experience there.

It all depends upon the primaries. He has a good chance of winning South Carolina, and that might give him a media boost.

I love John too. And for a while I couldn't explain exactly why, but I think you did a pretty excellent job at summing it up. I feel like I'm wrapped in a fairly fuzzy blanket while listening to him. All safe and comfortable-like. I don't really like either Obama or Clinton. I still don't know who I'd pick if it was between them.

I wish Nader wasn't so old, and also not in the race. I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.

Also, because I figured it'd amuse you the same as it did me, my French professor's name is Uriel(Which Rhymes With Ulliel...Kinda, Whatever.)

[cinnamon_kisses]

*nod* He just seems so competent and purposeful. I trust him.

I wish Bill Clinton could run. Or Al Gore would be good. He's so smart. I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. Nader...I don't know if I'd want him ruling the country, but his presence in the races was very influential. He's more of a one-message guy, though. I think Ron Paul's taken over as the crazy guy who forces everyone else to adopt some new policies. :P

What I'd really love to see is Stewart/Colbert. Them I would trust with the country. *nodnod*

Lol, nice. I'd be calling him Ulliel on purpose. :P
