Which candidate has your "undorsement"?

Its the reverse of an endorsement. Its not who you want to win, its who you want to lose the most. I'm not considering tactical undorsements because its not like my decisions actually effects anyone (so I wouldn't undorse the candidate that has the best chance of winning just for that reason)

Hillary annoys me the most, but policy wise I'm not sure Barak Obama is any better, and Edwards and Kucinich are probably worse (and might annoy me as much as Hillary if they got more attention). And its not like Dodd or Biden would have good positions either. I don't really know anything about Gravel.

Hmm looking up Gravel at

en.wikipedia.org

and

en.wikipedia.org

I see he apparently wants to end the income tax, which is interesting, but most of his positions besides that follow the standard liberal Democrat playbook.

None of the Republicans are perfect but the worst of them is still better than the Dems in my opinion. In some ways Ron Paul may be worse than some of the Dems, but in some ways he might be better than the rest of the Republicans. Overall he's the oddball on the Republican side.

So who gets my "undorsement". I'm still thinking about it, but right now it looks like one of three Clinton, Edwards, or Kucinich.
