I have an ugly feeling that I may have to vote for either Obama or Hillary as a lesser evil, as so many have put it. Fred Thompson sounds pretty common sensical. I presume that means he doesn't have the slightest chance of being on the ballet. I looked at some of the FT report stuff, but didn't see his position on the environment, gay rights, or abortion. His social positions would be important in my consideration. It's hard to find a fiscal conservative/social liberal any more.
