There are two considerations: which candidate do we think would be easier to defeat, and which candidate would be the less bad if he actually won? On both counts, I'd say we ought to root for Barack Hussein Obama to win the Democratic nomination -- and I changed my registration to Democrat just so I could vite <strike>against Hillary Clinton</strike> for Mr Obama on April 22nd. We don't <em>know</em> if Mr Obama is a dishonest, lying scumbag -- though, as a Democrat, that's certainly possible -- but we do know that Mrs Clinton is just that, and worse. While I don't want either of them to be president, we have to face the possibility that one of them just might be, and of those two, Mr Obama strikes me as the lesser of two evils. Whether or not Mr Obama would be easier to beat than Mrs Clinton is pretty much a judgement call; I <i>think</i> that's the case, but no one really knows.
