Well, initially I thought it would be a tough choice. And if the Greens were in their own list, it would be- Gore is awesome. But a racial party lead by Maxine Waters? Nah, thanks. And while I supported the German FDP- a Paul party?! Oh, no, no way, count me out.
Enthusiastic vote for SDP and Obama.

This. While I could support the CDU or FDP in Germany, applying these parties to American politicians actually doesn't come across too appealing for me. Its tough to see where a kind of Blue Dog-like guy me falls.

Yeah if the CDU in this scenario was lead by a Blue Dog type Democrat, or a more reasonable Republican (say Romney) rather than a Rubio-type Republican I'd vote for them.

Then for CDU and FDP in Germany, I would have been a CDU supporter until 2 years ago (but not anymore), and out of the mainstream parties the FDP currently seem to be somewhat reasonable (they would have been my second choice in the German election), but I don't like their American counterparts in this scenario.
