49. I think most people know who I've chosen at this point.
And my reasons why.

I thought the phone-jamming thing was over-the-top, personally. I have no patience for baseless accusations or personal attacks on the candidates. Frankly, I'm a little tired of people calling my candidate a "phony."

I like his stance on the issues and that's why I'm supporting him. If one of the other candidates had his stances, I'd be supporting him or her instead. For me, it's all about the issues, and the best plan for dealing with the aftermath of this disastrous administration.

And if I post something about the other candidates, it's based upon how I perceive their relationship to the issues I hold to be most important.

Some people act as though this is some sort of sporting event, like their self-worth is tied up in their candidate's chances in the primary. There's a reason I dislike sports--that sort of fanaticism is goofy as hell, and promotes NONE of our better qualities as human beings. IMO. And the last thing I want to see is people bringing that kind of mentality to something as important as what's in front of us now.

I think any one of our candidates is a better choice than any Republican. There's not even a doubt in my mind, which is why I'll cast a vote for whoever wins the primary. But I can't help feeling that we'll grow to regret certain choices somewhere down the line.
