More on the Primaries

So here we go! The primaries have begun! The Iowa Caucus was a surprise- Huckabee was practically a nobody just months ago, but he won the Republican side. Moreover, who could have guessed that Hilary Clinton would come in third (Obama won, with Edwards second)? Then, completely different results appeared in New Hampshire: McCain and Clinton won. Richardson keeps coming up short, and now he's dropping out. It all seems to be happening so fast!
Recently I've been wavering a bit about whom to support in these primaries. No doubt about it, my top pick is Kucinich. However, we all know he isn't going to win anything anytime soon. So who out of the front runners? If you've been reading my blog for a while, you probably know that I've been supporting Obama. The more I find out about Clinton, however, the more I like her. I agree with her views on a lot of issues and it would be great to have Bill and the rest of the Clinton administration back in the White House. Then, of course, there's the Republicans. I can't really choose one person on that side because whenever I think too long about the possibility of one of them being our next president I get nauseous and start thinking about the moving to Canada. I can't stand Giuliani and Romney, but Huckabee, McCain and Paul don't bother me quite as much. Still thinking about Canada, though.

Check this out- it's really cool. You just take a quick survey and then it tells you which candidates agree with you on what issues, as well as who you agree with the most. Here's the address: http://www.votehelp.org/
