Both candidates have their strengths - Bernie has passion and the ability to create a following, Hillary has broader experience, dogged perseverance, and the ability to handle the mud the Republicans are going to throw at her. And both have their flaws - Bernie has a narrow focus and a sense of my way or the highway, and lately there's a touch of the demagogue. Hillary has a huge sense of entitlement, the inability to create a passionate following, and all the baggage she and her husband accumulated in public life. I tilt slightly towards Clinton, but I am not at all happy with that choice. I put a lot of blame on DWS for not growing young Democratic candidates during the past 8 years. O'Malley was, I thought, the best of this year's batch.

And, come November, I'll be supporting the Democratic nominee.
