I Heart Obama

I figured since I have a blog now, I might as well use it to state my preference for president. I'm an Obama supporter, and if he wins the nomination, I'll vote for him in the general. As for the Democratic nomination, I think Hillary should drop out. She is behind in pledged delegates, and cannot realistically gain the lead in them by the end of the primaries. Therefore, her only chance of winning would be to have the superdelegates overturn the elected result. Superdelegates, by the way, are ludicrous, and should be abolished after this cycle, but while we still have them, they should realize their ridiculous position, and follow the will of the voting Democrats, and not overturn that result.

As for November, I like Obama, I think he's a good candidate for president, but I won't vote for Hillary Clinton. I don't think she would be a good president, and wouldn't help elect her. Of course, I also don't think McCain would be a good president, and wouldn't vote for him either. I think everyone should vote for the best possible candidate, and not help enforce the two party system. I'd vote for a Green or a Libertarian (not Bob Barr, he's a joke). I'd hope Ron Paul continues his campaign into the general, since I'd definitely vote for him over Hillary and McCain.
