Let's get a couple of things straight. Number one, I know you don't like Obama and haven't on any issue, which is why it's laughable you keep referring to Obama as a means of excusing this guy's HORRENDOUS lack of experience that even looks bad next to a 2008 Obama. Number two, you claim to be an independent and that's fine and dandy. When it comes to the national scene and MY experience with you, I've never witnessed you make any statements of support for anyone OTHER than a Republican. So you may be a registered independent and you may claim to vote for non-Republicans, but based on my observation your opinions of people and what is good/bad is LARGELY based around whether or not they have a (D) or an (R). Furthermore, for someone whose HABITUALLY labelled me and others as his "left wing friend" despite not identifying as "left wing", you have a quite the nerve to bitch about people mislabeling you.
As to who I'm leaning to at this early stage...I'm not leaning to anyone, because it's 20-freaking-13. We're 2 years away from the Primaries and 3 years away from the Election. No one of any significant note has officially declared in any way shape or form for the 2016 election. If you want to give me a list of people you think MIGHT run I'd be happy to tell you who, at this very moment, I'd be potentially interested in voting on. But I'm not leaning towards anyone because there's no actual candidates as of yet. What more, there's 3 years of time for all sorts of different things to happen that change my opinion, for good or ill, about any given individual.
For example, had you asked me right after 2008's election if I would've supported Palin in 2012 I would've said yes. By 2011 she wasn't even a candidate AND I would've never cast my vote for her because she threw her lot in with the ignorant 9/11 truth-level douches in regards to the Birther movement. We have no clue whose going to run in 2-3 years, nor what the situation surrounding them will be at that time. So I'm not leaning towards anyone.
