Obama, pragmatic liberal

Quoting Andrew Sullivan:

"I also just think that Obama is a pragmatic liberal. His judgments in the past have been largely practical and reasonable. He is not an ideologue. Nor is he an excessive partisan. Those qualities are admirable from a conservative point of view."

I have never been a straight ticket voter, there is good people on both sides, I have always voted for who I thought was the right person for the right job! This election is going to be a tough one for me to decide!

Agreed. The only person I support over Obama is Kucinich...but given the circumstances and situation at this moment in time, Obama is it.

I do not know if I could fully 100% support him, but I certainly hope he gets on the ticket and wins this thing.

He is such an eloquent speaker.
But is he electable?
I would, however, vote for an Edwards/Obama ticket.

Mo, I think he is electable... :)

*sigh* I know Kucinich is done Mary.

I just don't like it. However, I did support Obama before UltraK, so I guess it is not all bad.
