I'm linking to this Doonsbury image from Yahoo! so please consider this appropriate attribution. I do not claim this as my original work and give all appropriate deference to the author.

That said, I thought it particularly interesting because from my perspective it sums up the Democratic Primary Election well. We do have a tested and experienced leader in Sen. Clinton. I use the word leader loosely because she seems to be a bit of a control freak in many ways. We have an eloquent visionary in Sen. Obama. The criticisms of Sen. Obama are fair; no experience in Washington, no experience in Foreign Affairs, and some questionable Illinois political ties. But, hey, it's Illinios, or more appropriately Chicago.

How is one to choose? Should we choose on who is most able to defeat Sen. McCain? Should we choose on who would be most able to deal with the entrenched bureauacracy in Washington? Should we choose on who we think has the best ideas? Is an "Obamary" or "Hillama" ticket the ultimate option? Hard to tell from where I sit.
