Go check out Daniel Drezner’s post<\/a> explaining that he (along with me) is one of the last holdouts in this electoral cycle.<\/p>\n

It’s a great post – I don’t agree with him (my p-value is nowhere near his), but it’s a good read. He has a great email from a former Clinton diplomat that’s worth noting. And the comments are great, too.<\/p>\n

As to how I feel? Well this morning I wrote to a friend:<\/p>\n

I don’t like any of Bush’s domestic policies that I can name (although I’m also not thrilled about Kerry’s). I do support the war in Iraq, and think that while Bush’s team has screwed some stuff up, none of it unrecoverable and he’s fundamentally on the right path. I don’t know what Kerry’s path really is, and if I knew, it’d make up my mind for me. <\/p>\n

I trust Bush to do what he says, but don’t trust Kerry much in the same way. But I don’t want Bush to pick 5 Supreme Court justices…<\/p>\n

I can do this kind of ping-pong all day. Then I remind myself that Kerry will win CA, it’s a winner-take-all electoral state, and I don’t need to trouble myself too much.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then I talked to Tim Oren<\/a> who told me I had a duty<\/i> to make up my mind. <\/p>\n

Sigh. Can’t we get a do-over on this and run McCain against Dean? Bueller? Anybody? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
