I have been registered as a Democrat since the day I could vote. And this year will be no different, I will vote for the Presidential candidate nominated by the Democratic party. I have been a partisan though since early on in the process, startling friends and family by putting an Obama sticker on my bumper (I don't generally like bumper stickers).
So I watched the debate in Nevada the other night prepared to love Obama and be satisfied with one of the three.
Other than being completely bored by the debate though, my only reaction was one of being disheartened by the candidates complete unwillingness to answer a direct question.
Anyone else have this reaction? I mean, sure -- some of the questions were inappropriate. But rather than just give a rambling non-answer, wouldn't it be better for the candidate to say "I am not going to answer that question." Or better yet, to explain why they won't answer?

I loves me some politics, I really do. But damn if I'm not bored to death of these endless debates. I'm not at all surprised that the candidates won't answer questions - it's about the only twist they can add these days to keep themselves awake! :)
You can still love Obama though - lots to love. Here's my stab at why he has my support:
