While your feelings are understandable, as well as supported by recent history, I think we are witnessing something here that should give hope to even the old cynics. I see a couple of candidates here that just might give us the first honest dialogue about two different ways to approach the war on the USA's rapidly disappearing middle class. Obama has an almost Kennedy-esque stature about him, and I am speaking of Bobby Kennedy here. Huckabee certainly has way right views, but is at least a change from what we are used to. I think he is in great peril for that nomination, as the big money on the business side surely doesn't want to see him prevail over their buddies, like Romney. Obama, with the right plan, is absolutely capable of wading through the Clinton machine. He is very well funded, and full of the gifts necessary. While I prefer Edwards, I surely understand why young folks are rabid over this man. I could get that way very quickly.

Here's to an interesting political year. It's about time.

All the best,

Mick
