In fact, I've already decided that it's not an option if Obama is the candidate. It doesn't matter to me whether a candidate is a Republican, a Republican masquerading as a Democrat, or a Democrat who is so spineless, weak, and ineffective that he may as well be a Republican... they're all completely useless to me.
Obama sold himself as a change agent, yet the minute he was elected he became Bush 2. His campaign was a lie and a con. When the country desperately needed to reverse course, and with the country behind him, he simply caved to the moneyed interests as he intended to all along. We could have had another FDR type generation that buried the Republican party for years to come, but lightweight that Obama is, he threw it all away. So we're stuck with yet another four years with an empty-suit figurehead in the WH, and with the bankers and corps running the country.
