So, remember back in August, I took a long look at the field of Democratic hopefuls?
Well, I've got to change at least one of those numbers: Barack Obama. I had originally given him half a point because he supports civil unions. Now, it turns out that he's travelling with an anti-gay gospel singer who is campaigning for him. Pander, much? When they say "Obama just doesn't have experience," I think this is what they mean. Sure, he's been in politics for a bit, but it doesn't take a genius to know that you don't pander to the other side until you win the primary. I guess he didn't get that memo. At least Dems will get to decide before the general if they want a guy who tows along a hate-monger to represent them.
Dealbreakers: Obama 2.5/4 (Still better than Hillary)

Speaking of that, want to get together some Satuday for a board game day? There's a few other people on my flist who might be up for that (
