Vote for whoever floats your boat, but I've gotta say that those are about the lamest reasons for not voting for Obama I've ever seen. You question his masculinity (really classy), and dislike him because of someone you dislike chose to endorse him? Please. And if you add up his time in the state legislature and his time in the Senate, Obama has spent more time in elected office than Hillary has. I'm not arguing that the Illinois state legislature (senate, whatever) is the equivalent of the US Senate, but the claim that he's "inexperienced" is a little bit ridiculous. She's OLDER than he is, that's basically what it amounts to.
You don't want to be a one-issue voter, but from what I've heard it sounjds like Obama's positions on any and all issues related to gay rights are better than Hillary's across the board. She and her husband have been claiming to enthusiastically support gay rights while agreeing left and right to anti-gay crap like the Defense of Marriage Act for years now. She's floated ideas like legislation to prevent flag-burning recently. You may think Obama would be another Carter ... I'm pretty much convinced that Hillary would be (in many ways) another Bush Jr. I'll definitely vote for her if she's the nominee, even if the Republicans go with their only non-insane candidate and nominate McCain, but I'm not convinced she's the best person to get the country to quit bitching and feuding and focus on moving forward.
And Ron Paul is now, and has always been, a fucking nut job. The fact that so many otherwise liberal/moderate young voters were attracted to his candidacy has everything to do with his "outsider" status and his loud anti-war rhetoric, and nothing at all to do with an actual review of the positions he held on issues.
P.S. Romney was governor of Massachusetts, not New Jersey.
