Whether it's an evolution in my political beliefs, my separation from the political world, or just the fact that I haven't really started paying attention, I'm not sure, but I can honestly say that I'm completely and totally undecided at this point. In fact, I could make a case for voting for almost any of the major candidates (I could also make a case for voting against any of the major candidates) in the general election. This is a revelation to me, because ever since I have been eligible to vote (1988 was my first presidential year), I have voted the party line in the Presidential election. While I'm guessing that I will probably end up doing the same this year, I'll be much more open about the possibility of going the other way.
At this fairly late stage of the campaign, I can rule out only four candidates thus far (Paul, Clinton, Kucinich, Gravel). I can almost rule out Hunter and Edwards. That leaves McCain, Huckabee, Giuliani, Thompson, and Romney vying for my vote in the primary and Obama, Biden, Dodd and Richardson possibly getting my vote in the general. Unfortunately, I'm sure that the nomination will be decided by the time my state votes in the primary.
