Anyone else flip-flopping like a fish on their choice yet?
I have already discovered that I am a "Wishy Washy Charlie Brown" on the verge of flipping for another candidate. Just 2 weeks ago, I posted something along the effects of "Vote your conscience in the Primary", but now I have done a personal 180 spin and now recommend "Don't Vote your conscience at all, because your 2nd choice may be more important."

Thus, I am on the verge of becoming a ship-jumping, wishy washy, flip-flopping, scalawag weasel. But, that's politics.
:banghead:

2. I'm not. I'm a "relaxed" Obama supporter.
I have not contemplated supporting another candidate these last months, but that may change as the campaign actually takes form. At this point, we are so far from the actual elections that I am only loosely following the minutia of the campaigns.

5. No, because I don't have to make any "choice" yet. Geez, we're at least...

...a half a year before the first primaries!! Relax and enjoy the leisure to be able to do some research.

NGU.

9. Precisely.
It's not like I'm about to tell the order-taker to change my order. I'm 18 people back in the line and looking over the options. Somehow I'm just not feeling the pressure.

6. No flip-flopping here, but that's only because I'm waiting for a thunderbolt.
I haven't made a choice yet.

There are two kinds of flip-flopping: one based on healthy, critical thought or "re-thinking" and one based on "yikes -- I said/did that?!"

Flip-flopping between candidates at this point is healthy & productive.

7. I've gained more respect for Obama of late
He's a pretty sharp guy.

8. I'm not totally firm on Obama
As of now, he's my choice (as indicated in my avatar). If a stronger alternative to Clinton emerges, I might adjust my support.

11. It's settling down to this order
Gore (keeping my fingers crossed), Hillary, Obama, Edwards

Positions 3 & 4 could swap, but I doubt it.

13. My choice is:
The Democratic nominee.

I'm more interested in getting rid of the DictatorTot & his posse of flunkies than in any specific candidate.
