Well, technically I have no firsthand idea if the person I voted for is decent and sincere. I admit I voted for whom you told me. :) While that's not my usual voter MO, there it is.
I voted for your recommendation as well, after poking around her LJ, of course. I read the drama queen and mostly enjoy him but I can't stand that hot or not thing he does of random strangers on public transportation who didn't submit to it...that's an abuse of LJ in my opinion.
Well, in the poll it says "(necessarily)," implying it's also an option to actually want it. I just figured I would leave no room for misinterpretation.
Diagrams like the one you did of unsafe food temperatures, it only encourages the corporate overlords, Obama unless Diebold chooses McCain, bad things they never found out about, lots, escalating urban murder rates ):, baring total economic collapse - yes.
I only chose "amusing childhood memories, wistful reflections" because of that photo you showed me where they're wearing those stunning Xmas sweaters in front of the tree and other "seasonal" decorations.
I confess that none of those three presidential possibilities seems plausible to me. I just can't fathom any of them winning. I think I imagine a shitstorm of epic proportions when/if Obama becomes the Democratic candidate, but I also just can't go to a place where McCain wins.
Way too early to make predictions on the '08 season finale. Too many plot points that the writers haven't unveiled yet. :)
Although I will probably break my own intention on this, I think it's probably pointless to make a real prediction on the presidential race until late September. I think it's pretty hard to really know who will win until you get within a week of the actual election. Often, though, the thing is too close to call even at that point.
That's because you actually made a prediction based on polls, and graphs and blah blah. It's much easier just to go with your hunch. I say Obama in a comfortable win, no landslide, but no nail-biter either. I base this on the fact that if an opposition candidate can't win this year (with unpopular war, recession, and general Republican fatigue), they may never be able to again. That and it's just my best guess.
There are many theoretical scandals or historical events that could sink Obama, of course.
Obama takes Hillary out in the convention, and from there it's Obama versus McCain, and they battle it out neck-and-neck until November, when suddenly Hillary returns out of nowhere (audience: BUT WE THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD!! OMG!!) and wins the election.
Instead of at the convention, this should take place at the homecoming dance, and Hillary, soaked from running through a rainstorm, should burst in to the crowd of seniors - all dressed in their rented tuxes and shoulderless dresses - who will part leaving only McCain and Obama, locked in the embrace of the final slow dance, in the center of the floor. Hillary will walk, determined and in slow motion, towards the pair and when she finally reaches them they will turn and stare at her, at first in horror and then in admiration, and will each drop to their knees before her. Then a cherub (actually the class nerd in paper wings) will be lowered from the rafters to place Hillary's crown upon her golden head!

Basically, fly into Paris, get picked up in a van, visit a few cheese shops and 6-7 dairies/cheesemakers and fly out of Geneva.
I might be leaving a couple out but I get to visit
Isigny (soft-ripened cow cheese)
Sevre et Belle (soft-ripened/aged goat cheese)
Guilloteau (Fromager D"affinois, Florette, etc)
Coulet (Roquefort)
Tournette (Tomme de Savoie/Reblochon style cheese)
3 Comtois (Gruyere de Comte)
