Support Obama, Giuliani, and Huckabee
The race for who will be the next President of the United States and quite likely a Crisis President will be heating up like mad the next few days. We just lost a Democratic candidate tonight - Dennis Kucinich, who is going to quit to concentrate on campaigning for the Ohio senate Democratic primary. Mike Gravel is a do-nothing candidate, so it is down to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards, one of whom will be the next President.
On the Republican side, it has been a multi-way see-saw. Huckabee won Iowa, then McCain in New Hampshire. Romney took Wyoming, Nevada, and Michigan, and McCain took South Carolina, with Huckabee a close second. Huckabee is running out of money. We lost two other candidates - Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson. So now there are only five candidates: John McCain, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani, and Ron Paul. Rudy's candidacy has gotten really weak as of late. He has not campaigned in any of the states so far, and is pinning his hopes on Florida, and I hope he wins there. Huckabee is running out of money.
So who do I support? Among those running, I believe John Edwards is the best, followed by Obama and then Clinton. I like all three of these better than any of the Republicans. To me, my preference among Republicans is not the important thing. The important thing is who will make more of a mess in that race. We need the pot to be stirred up among the Republicans to prevent them from securing Lichtman Key 2, Contest for the Nomination. Edwards said that McCain will be the nominee. So that is whom not to support. Romney is winning too many primaries to support. Huckabee is running out of money, so supporting him will keep him in the contest and help muddy the waters. Giuliani has yet to win one, so I hope he wins in Florida and makes it a four-way donnybrook. So if you want to support Republican candidates, support Giuliani and Huckabee.
Among the Democrats, Edwards is the best, but he is so far behind that I am afraid that a vote for Edwards is a vote for Clinton. So I would support Obama and hope that when he gets elected President, that he will do something about peak oil and the economy, and will try to stop growth, which is exceeding the planet's capability to sustain.
So if you want to give to the candidates, give to Huckabee, Giuliani, and Obama, with the most towards Obama.
