I could get all defensive, Ron and Kat....(smile)..., buy why? I don't consider myself a cnyic at all. I hope for all kinds of good things in the near future.

I like Obama. I hope he does very well. I like Edwards. I sort of like Hillary too, although I worry about her backers. They all (Obama, Edwards, Clinton) have big money behind them. I like Kucinich even better...but his resources are more limited. I like some of the stuff Ron Paul is saying on the Republican side.

I wish them all well.

What I would like most of all would be to see the very best minds who are opposing the Iraq war putting their energies into a cooperative effort to form the next government and work together, rather than spending all this effort and money trying to knock each other off the top spot.

I'd ultimately like to see a radically different political system in place, and I have expressed it as best I can in this post:

A different system of primaries altogether
