And on that note, I’m reminding everyone that this is a poll for SDMB Dems. Take the political debates and pittings to their proper forums, please.
Obama is a breath of fresh air, Hillary is the other half of a previous “first couple”.
Before McCain blew bush as a matter of party solidarity, I respected him greatly. I still think he’s a straight shooter, and a respectable man.
I am by no means a sexist or misogynist, but if it were Obama v McCain, I’m all for Obama, it it were Clinton v McCain, I might be torn.
My allegiances are based more on my opinion about leadership, and respect on a global level.
Maybe I’m in the severe minority with this standpoint, but there it is.
I have little doubt that Bush’s appointments to the SC, Roberts and Alito would be open to overturning R v. W. They have been as solidly to the right as the evangelicals could hope for. They sure as hell aren’t going to revisit the issue in a presidential election year though. With Stevens hanging on until the next pres. the issue becomes a pressing one. A McCain pick could well but the conservatives over the top, if they are not there already. Lately, everything seems to rest on Kennedy’s shoulders in the SC.
