i have no candidate this year May 7, 2008

There was a time when I was an ardent admirer of John McCain. Then he went a little nuts, though he seems to have recovered somewhat.
I thought Barack Obama was a breath of fresh air in his first senate run. It’s nice to get some fresh blood with ambition.
And while Hillary originally turned me off, I have grown to respect her. She has experience and she has drive (plus the Bill factor). Until recently, she had my vote.
But, now I’m done. Obama’s energy “policy” is full of hot air, and McCain and Clinton have demonstrated they don’t know a thing about sustainability. It’s a wacky, weird world when Thomas Friedman sums up my thoughts almost perfectly. And it’s a sign from the gods that our politicians are so out of touch with reality that we can’t get one decent candidate who isn’t completely ridiculous.
I’m with you. I’ve personally always thought McCain was a little nuts and really disliked Hilary. Up until I inserted my card into the machine my Vote was for Obama; then my moment of truth came. My gut wouldn’t allow it. I voted for Hilary and caucused for her.
I guess I feel like she’s the least of three evils?
