I'm running out of candidates.
Advertisements [?]
I really, really wanted Russ Feingold to run, but I understood his position that he could do better work from his Senate seat. I replaced him with the hope that Al Gore would run. The bumper sticker is still on my truck.

The longer Gore held out I kept looking. I"ve met Kucinich and Edwards several times, and have had long private conversations with both. I've also talked with Dodd and Biden at length. Dodd, I feel is a knowledgeable man with honor and courage, but he never caught on. Joe Biden is a bullshit artist of the first magnitude.

So, I sent money to Kucinich, knowing he was going nowhere, but to keep him in the race and talking about things nobody else wanted to address. Then I voted for Edwards in the Florida primary.

Well, now he's gone, and we're left with 2 candidates. And I don't particularly like either of them. I'm not trashing anybody. They're just not my cup of tea.

So, I'm officially undecided.
