I said I'd decide around Labor Day and I think I'll have to, somewhat reluctantly, go for Clinton.

Yeah, I'm kind of getting there too. Someone I know actually gave me one of the best reasons to vote for Clinton that I've heard: unlike Gore and Kerry (or Edwards or Obama), Clinton won't just let it go if the Republicans try to steal the election again. The woman does have balls.

I am also coming around to supporting Hillary Clinton for the nomination.  I know what I said in months past, and I would have much preferred someone else, but all the other alternative Democrats currently running leave too much to be desired for me to back them.

Not set in stone yet.

If I had to pick one that is running currently: Giuliani

Though I'm still hoping for a strong candidate to run on the Unity08 ticket.

I'm picking her because she's closest to my position on Iraq of the Democrats (I wouldn't support any of the Republicans). I still disagree with the Democrats' policy, which seems to be a withdrawal without taking factors on the ground into account. Not that the Republicans have done a good job. Of course, the terrorists are the ones who are really to blame.

I'll be supporting John Edwards until he either wins or drops out of the race.  If the latter happens my support will go to Clinton.  I would also jump over to the Al Gore camp if he were to run, which looks very unlikely.

Only thing to sway me from Clinton would be a Gore candidacy.

Edwards, but any of the leading Democratic contenders would be fine with me.

My top choice would be Biden followed by Richardson.  But I am a realist and it seems a certainty that Hillary will get the nom and frankly I prefer her to all of the Republicans.

Gore. Besides that, I prefer Obama over Hilary and would be very happy to see high vote scores for Richardson and for leftist fringe candidates.

While I'm ok with a woman for President, I cannot in good conscience support Hillary. That being said, I think I prefer Fred Thompson to any of the announced candidates, although I could support Biden if he can make any headway at all in the Democratic Primaries

I'm supporting Biden unless Clark enters the race.

Edwards.

Then Richardson.

Then Obama.

Then Kucinich.

Then grudgingly Clinton.

Ron Paul. Honestly, I知 at a loss at who to support if he does not go the third party route. I知 consider voting for Giuliani or Romney, but I知 of the mind that the GOP needs to be humbled a bit, so I might cast a vote for either Hillary or Biden out of spite.

Kucinich, but I'm content with the inevitable general election vote for Hillary that I will cast.

I continue to hope Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee, but I wouldn't be disappointed if Hillary Clinton won it.  However, I do worry about her 'drag effect' on the Democratic ticket.  I believe both would stand a good chance of winning in the general election.

^^^. I personally am hoping that either Kubby wins the LP nomination or Paul decides to run for it and wins the nomination.

I'll never force myself to vote for Hillary Clinton in the general election either.

I could actually vote Libertarian then.
