Back in Black

Alright, i am not even sure if anyone is going to even notice that I am back to blogging....but here I go. If no one makes comments, then I am spamming the hell out of your email boxes to ensure that I get some "blogger love".

I just wanted to get a little insight into what my family is thinking about when it comes to politics. No judgments, just curiosity...

I am not an expert, but I will go out on a limb and say that, in my humble opinion, we are going to have a new president in 2008. I will also venture to say that the new president could be a man or a woman...or even a mormon. So who are you pulling for?

I personally would like to see Obama take the democratic nod into '08 but I am afraid that is somewhat of a pipedream (especially with his small fumbles as of late). I prefer his common sense approach to health care reform, his track record with the war and his views revolving around civil liberties (habeus etc...).

Having recognized that Obama will likely lose out to the sexier Clinton, I admit that I plan on voting for her over the Italian Stallion, The Stormin' Mormon or even the 2nd coming of Ronald Reagan. The main reasons for my decision to vote for a democrat are, 1. the way I feel a democrat will deal with the "war on terror", 2. supreme court appointees, 3. Civil liberties issues. Lets be honest, the rest of the issues are more subtle differences of opinion...
