um…I don’t think the KKK has really endorsed Obama.
Was that a joke?

The story about the KKK endorsing Obama was indeed a joke.

But all four were well in the positive side of things. I guess my lizard brain is mostly apolitical, and my distaste for the GOP is reality-based.

Apparently I don't hate Huckabee as much as I expected; I just love him a whole lot less. Huh. Apparently I don’t hate Huckabee as much as I expected; I just love him a whole lot less.

That about sums up how I feel- I'm leaning Obama, would be perfectly happy with Clinton and would rather see McCain than Huckabee, who I believe is evil incarnate. Which annoys me, because I've actually enjoyed some of the things I've heard him say, until he starts talking policy and I want to vomit.

Clinton and Obama side by side just below the top. Huckabee at the dead bottom with Mc Cain directly above.

Clinton and Obama side by side just below the top.

Still, it's fun, and I came out with Obama on top, Clinton down a bit, and Huck and McCain way down at the bottom.

The Huckabee very near the bottom and McCain behind him, just barely even on it. And all of that seems about right. I like Obama and Clinton pretty equally, but I'm leaning Clinton because I really want to vote for the woman. I strongly dislike Huckabee on policy and religion, but he seems like a somewhat likable guy aside from the pure evil, and McCain just scares the shit out of me.
