    That's why I'll probably vote for him

    "Nobody actually knows which of these views are right because there hasn't been a serious national campaign in a very long time that has attempted to elevate itself above the Drudgian muck ..."

    I'm inclined to give Obama a shot, if only because he does seem to be willing to try things that other politicians have dismissed as hopeless or useless. Our politicans have been trying the same old crap over and over again for as long as I can remember, and look where it has gotten us.
