No, he's not perfect. Takes a lot of big donations from Goldman Sachs and the like. Too much Wall Street investment in his campaign for my taste. But I like him more than any other candidate, because he's willing to listen to both sides of the aisle and has proven that he can bring people together towards a common cause, like his campaign for videotaped interrogations in Illinois. He isn't about "us versus those nasty Republicans" like Hillary is. People are tired of the partisan bullshit.
Don't like her much. She's frosty, and her composure is easily punctured. Bad combination, and the sheiks and imams in the Middle East quagmire just aren't really going to warm up to her. Not when her husband was the guy responsible for placing all those military bases in their holy land, and refusing to close them down even when threatened by terrorists about dire consequences. Meanwhile, a dark-skinned man named Barack Hussein Obama? I'm thinking he'll get a wee bit more traction over there.
Edwards is all right, but he doesn't have Obama's charisma. He'll probably get a cabinet position if Obama wins. Right now, he's good enough as Barack's foil. You can tell neither of them like her, on a personal level. Edwards really seemed to sour on her when she fell behind and started sniping at Obama. Barack, meanwhile, is just sitting back and giving her as much rope as she wants. Political jujitsu.
