ODS too?

You must really have something against Barack Obama if your Obama Derangement Syndrome outweighs the Clinton Derangement Syndrome enough for you to actually Vote Hillary™. Still defining your choices in negative terms, eh?

You do seem to be having trouble coming up with positive reasons to support any of the Republicans this season. Here's a possibility that offers you some saving of the face: Maybe the GOP A-list calculated the odds and decided to sit this one out rather than add a bruising defeat to their resumes. Though I'm not sure who'd be on any such A-list, but maybe you have a favorite on the sidelines who'd surely save the day if only he'd run.

I find myself leaning towards Obama these days, in part as a reaction to the presumption that Hillary has a lock on the nomination. Bill Clinton recently said that it'd be a gamble to vote for Barack, and I'm sure he didn't intend that to be an endorsement. But the safe bets are either 100% business-as-usual with any Republicans, and 80% business-as-usual with Hillary and the Democratic Machine. Sometimes the right thing to do is roll the dice, and considering the alternative of biz-as-usual, the odds actually seem pretty good.
