And I thought my views were somewhat off-base compared to the "average" American, if such an entity existed. Interesting by-product of visiting the vajoe site: clear lead for the Republicans amongst the military types. Not surprising, just interesting given that the current guy in charge messed things up for the military so badly. <blockquote>Republican - 53.22% Democrat - 46.78%</blockquote> Santos,

We no longer need her or the latino vote to capture the white house. The women vote will now carry the Hillary campaign the rest of the way. Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton replaced campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle with longtime aide Maggie Williams on Sunday. Ms. Clinton believes Maggie Williams is a better choice to target the women vote. Clinton said in a statement. “I am lucky to have Maggie on board and I know she will lead our campaign with great skill towards the nomination.” Solis Doyle, is dispensable, she has served her purpose to help us win the latino vote in the big states.

Obama's pro-gay civil union, but stops short of gay marriage. And he's a bit wishy-washy on the death penalty. As far as trade goes, his senatorial voting record has been a mixed bag of free and fair. Policy-wise, he is the closest to an ideal candidate for me. But like every other semi-undecided, I wonder if his ideals can change the White House. This isn't the fictional West Wing, after all. He’s not far off, but isn’t liberal enough.
