Election ‘08 - Why am I still undecided?

questionI have been a political junkie for as long as I can remember. One of my first memories is staying up late and watching presidential election results on TV. I backed Gary Hart when I was living in Ohio, and he surprisingly won the state.

The last 2 elections presidential elections have been a real disappointment to me, and I have watched our country become at the same time a laughingstock and feared throughout the world.

So, as the elections near, I find myself not really gravitating toward any one candidate. Obama excites me, but he is wishy-washy on some issues. Clinton seems capable, but she is the one candidate that the Republicans think they can beat. Crap!

Maybe I am afraid of being profoundly disappointed, as I was ‘00 and ‘04. I know I will back the Democratic candidate, because we SO need the Republicans out of office, but I am hedging my bets for now.
