Democratic March Madness - South Semifinal 2 - Klobuchar/Booker

Pick one:

Everyone stop bitching about the seedings. No one’s forcing you to vote.

Let it be a fun distraction during the doldrums. We could do one every quarter or so until things get serious in January.

This one, I’m unsure on. They have similar qualifications (both senators), and I don’t yet know enough about either to distinguish them.

Quick vote for Amy. Easy for me.

Cory Booker has that whole “superhero mayor” image; he’s a neat guy. But after the long periods trying to hide his girlfriend from the press, I just don’t think Booker would enjoy being under the constant spotlight of the Presidency, where he can’t control what the media know & say about him.

Klobuchar’s supposedly a moderate, but she talks like a serious progressive on her issues. I like her all right.

I’m not too crazy about either of these, but I’ll go with Amy. Booker has his heart in the right place, but he’s always “on” for the camera.

This is a tough one. How long are these polls going to be up until the next round? I need to think about this one.

Three days.

This is a toughie. I like Amy enough to have already voted for her as my senator, but Cory just seems more ready for prime time.

I have issues with both, but it has to be Klobuchar. I’ve always found Booker about as exciting as a cardboard cutout (I think it’s me, not him) and he spent way too long as the charter school industry’s favorite Democrat for me to believe he can change his spots.

Got any links with more detail about Booker and charter schools? Education is my biggest issue, and that’s likely to decide me one way or the other.

These might be my two favorite candidates, currently anyway. Klobuchar by a couple of noses.
