52. Are we talking about the primary or the GE?
Edited on Mon Mar-17-08 05:45 PM by XemaSab
I already voted for my man in the primary, so it's hard to rethink my choices there.

My only discomfort with him is his stand on GLBT Americans and his non-condemnation of McClurkin, and if he said something unequivocally bigoted against gays THAT would be a primary deal-breaker.

It would take a hell of a lot for me to not support him in the GE. He'd really have to do something awful for me to not turn out to vote for him against McCain. Throwing gays, choice, seperation of church and state, or other liberal values under the bus would really weaken my support for him, as would a hawkish stance on war. If he did those things, what would be the point of voting for him against McCain? :shrug:

(Oh, and on edit: an endorsement from Al Gore, Howard Dean, or someone like Barbara Lee for Hillary would give me pause.)
