The Democratic Primaries

I've been intentionally kind of quiet over the Democratic Primaries, aside from offering up my preference and support for Obama. My reasons for that are both pragmatic and philosophical:

  1. I distinctly prefer Obama to Clinton, for reasons I will go into after the campaign is over and Obama is the nominee (he said, hopefully).
  2. I still prefer Clinton to McCain; unlike some folks (who, I hope, are more posturing than honest), if Clinton gets the nomination, I will be supporting her over the GOP candidate, not sulking and refusing to vote.

While #1 suggests I should talk about about Obama over Clinton, or complain about some of the things Clinton and her campaign have been doing and saying, #2 suggests that to do so will, should she get the nomination, only aid comfort and support to McCain. Since I'm more interested in seeing either Democrat get in for 2008 than McCain, I (unlike some others, it seems) would rather not do so.

While that smacks a bit of the Democratic variant of the Eleventh Commandment, there is a time and place for everything. Bashing other Democrats right now is counterproductive to my goal in November. Time enough for that retrospective bashing later on.
