42. Since I refuse to go on Kos's site,
you'd have to tell me what the article is about.

Now as for your other responses, one-by-one...

1) And I stick by my quote. I'm just saying that what ABC said refers to more than genetalia.

2) As I said or at least indicated, there's a difference between the theory and practice of affirmative action - something I posted to save you the trouble of explaining that which I've heard so many times. Right wingers are not the only people who believe that AA means quotas in practice, but I'm not surprised you went there. If you disagree with anyone on DU, you're a Freeper - I learned that a long time ago.

3) I tend to side with the idea of inherent authority of the president on SCOTUS nominations. I hate it when it doesn't go my way, but I was a big believer in it when Clinton nominated Bader-Ginsburg. Mentioning the Constitution doesn't sway me because we're well past the point where the Supremes uphold it.

4) I take the cost benefit analysis into account, I think he's right. I don't want to lose in 2012.

5) I'd have to read more on both his stance and the stance itself to comment on this, unfortunately, but stance on markets isn't likely to make or break my support.

I'd still like to know who your choice is and why.
