I'm stumped. I don't even know which party's caucus I want to attend.

I like both Hillary and Obama, but am leaning toward Hillary.
Really, the fundamental reasons to take her over Obama is (i) her level of experience, both as one of the most influential senators working both in the minority and now in the majority, as well as her experience as first lady (and I credit her with getting more relevant experience there than the average vice president); and (ii) my personal trust of her, which isn't something I can easily convince anyone else of. I first met her a long time ago, have seen her in several different settings, and thing she is fundamentally intelligent, thoughtful, focused and stable - all good traits for a President. I also think she is balanced - she's not doctrinaire in any way, much like her husband.
All that said, Obama is probably more dynamic and stirring, and if you are looking for someone who is inspirational, like a JFK or FDR, he may be the guy. I'd just rather see him as VP or in some substantive cabinet position for a while first.
There's no question for me of voting R - so I'll let the Rs make their own cases.
