4. "I do not support either candidate with any real emotion"
Thats a bit of a constricting option isn't it? Neither of them were my first choice but without "any real emotion"? I have alot invested in who does/does not become the next POTUS.

5. An option for "Other' would have been the recourse for many here,
Judging from a lot of thoughtful posts hidden among the dross here in this momentous primary season.

By way of example:

Other
If I'm to believe that the political process, such as it is in this Dark Age for American Democracy, is still at all valid, I will vote for the candidate. I might have to take a breath and hold it until I'm done, but whatever unpleasant odors might otherwise insinuate themselves into my nostrils would be as nothing compared to the fetid, charnel stench of four more years with a Republican in the White House.

These candidates are both smart and accomplished and civilized people. Either will be mostly adequate, sometimes inspired and sometimes ineffectual. We're hiring someone to repair as much as possible as fast as possible. America may need another FDR now, but it seems we don't have that option. Let's get one of them in there this November and start from there.

This is The Year One.

7. OT -
Your sig line reminded me of listening to a radio report on Abbe Hoffman's death. The reporter, who sounded like he was about twelve, covered aspects of her life, and what she had been involved with during her lifetime. I almost drove off the road. May she rest in peace. And him, too.

6. I don't support either candidate with real emotion.
If I did, one or the other would have been my first choice, but they weren't.

12. I'm also with Edwards or Kucinich.
I have little interest in either of the remaining candidates, although I dislike one more than the other.

13. "Zeal" isn't the right word
But my heart is with Hillary. There is an emotional component to my support for her.

14. I've caught some enthusiasm for Obama, but my heart's not in it.
