Liberalism is the new communism. The same arguments that were made 20-50 years ago about communists are being made now about liberals.
Personally, of the frontrunners I like Obama a lot (full disclosure: I'd vote for Richardson over Obama, but he's not going to get the numbers he needs). I met Obama when he was a state senator, and he's a very likeable, very smart guy. When you talk about experience, what do you mean? He's been in government for a while, although not at the national level.
Hal, I'm not sure why you don't like McCain. He seems to be the one Republican that's absolutely AGAINST mistreatment of POW's/enemy combatants. He's probably the Republican I'd vote, just like Obama would be the Democrat.
I think that the main problem here is that we all look back at past presidencies with rose-colored glasses. You might even find a Republican or two admitting that the Clinton years might not have been so bad, just like you'll find Democrats admitting that Reagan wasn't evil personified. Right now, we're trying to guess who the best man for the job is. In my opinion, we've guess wrong the last two times, but that's me.
