Political Nanny is absolutely sure -- at least twice every day -- that she's going to vote for Barack Obama in her state's Feb. 5 primary. To her endless frustration, she chews through candidates like bubble gum, reluctantly spitting one out, gleefully unwrapping and enjoying -- if only for a few minutes -- another.  

Like a lot of people she talks to, Political Nanny finds she likes Obama most when there's no one else (read: Hillary Clinton) around to distract her and plant the idea that the Republicans will tear him to shreds. Indeed he IS inspiring. His healthcare plan IS a good start. He BEST represents change. And while Clinton IS likeable enough, Obama is likeable likeable. Like, really likeable. Like, we like him like him likeable.

Last night on Letterman, he gave us the Top 10 more reasons to like him like him, including a vice president quite the opposite of evasive, sour, mean, mean Dick Cheney.

(Speaking of, if you're wavering between parties, here's an alarming round of answers from the GOP candidates at last night's debate in Florida. Except for Ron Paul, they all say Iraq has been worth the lives and money. After Paul gets cheers for the smackdown, Huckabee comes back with a comparison of WMD to Easter eggs. What in God's name does he mean?)

Back to Obama ... Political Nanny is going to enjoy the next few minutes of voting certainty, because she feels another round of impending indecision coming on. (Oh, hey, Hillary, hey John ... nothing to see here). We can't wait to learn who all those undecided Dems in South Carolina like the very minute they cast their votes on Saturday.
