Who do you want to be the next President?

Chafee voted against the Iraq War. H. Clinton voted for the Iraq War.
Perhaps I should support Chafee?

Sanders did as well. So I don't know.

Sanders is way more respectable than Chaffee, who is a plastic bag blowing in the wind.

Well, Sanders may be a better choice than Chafee, but I will see what happens.
I think either of them would be better than Hillary Clinton. Neither Sanders or Chafee have made a definate decision although both have expressed an interest. I would certainly like to see someone in the race who had the courage to oppose the Iraq War.

Well, what are your positions on domestic issues like living wage, public health care, infrastructural projects, etc, etc? I suspect Sanders matches your views better than Chafee.

I think you may be right about that. I suspect I would agree with Sanders on many issues. I don't know enough about Chafee yet. Where does he stand on the issues that you mentioned? He did support Bush in 2000, which is one problem.

Rand Paul way be the wild card next year. He has a chance to beat Clinton. If he does well, it may force Democrats to re-think Clinton. Rand's father voted 'no' and Clinton 'yes' on the Iraq War. Although we can't expect Rand to be exactly the same as Ron on all the issues, it does present an interesting problem for Clinton. Her vote for war could be an issue next year. Anti war candidates may not get the nomination of either party, but they could be a factor in changing the dialogue. Every penny spent on unnecessary weapons could be used for good rather than for evil.
How many times do we need to blow up the world? Wouldn't the money wasted on evil be better spent on good?

Oh, and just so you know, I don't mean to imply that I agree with Rand's position on domestic issues. He is very pro gun.
