I'm glad you are choosing to still support him as well. I don't necessarily agree with your view about "the curse of first one out", but I do think that any president in the several upcoming elections is going to be looked at very suspiciously with people being cautious to not have another Bush in office. I'm not sure his race is in question as much as the media makes it out to be. America highly respected Colin Powell and at the time, it even felt like he was the one everyone was waiting for his opinions as to whether we should go to Iraq. Either way, these next few days will surely be monumental in their effects on the direction of our country. Let's hope things turn out for the better.
