His essay on the subject is very good.

In case Sivacracy readers wonder, I have not made up my mind yet. If I had to vote today, I would have a hard time choosing between Edwards and Obama.

My former Senator from New York is one of the most capable people in the country and I have great respect for her. But she is way too conservative. She is an Arkansas Democrat (and a bit of an Illinois Republican as well). If she were president I would sleep well at night, knowing the grown-ups were in charge of defending the country and giving her advice.

But I would curse her during the day because she would be unwilling to upset her Wall Street and Hollywood backers, even it that meant denying basic services to poor people or making the best possible policy decisions.

Anyway, no one should really care what I think about this. By the time Virginia gets to vote in a primary, the deal could be done.

That said, I have never been as inspired and encouraged by a Democratic field as I have this year. With the exception of that idiot Joe Biden all the candidates offer something really great to America: relief.
