He hates every GOP option--McCain is too entrenched, Giuliani is a scaremongering clown, and he lives as a non-Mormon in Utah so Romney's out. He thinks the post-tears Hillary is phony (the whole "I've found my voice" thing leaves him cold). But he can see a future of change promised by Obama, and he's for that.

Stunning. I'm here to tell you, if Obama wins the nomination, we're going to get a BUNCH of aisle-crossing votes.
