Hope and Change anyone?

This round of primaries and the general election is not inspiring a great deal of passion anywhere.

I guess the Libs are saving it up for the general and none of the Republicans are really floating anyones boat. Of course I wouldn't expect anyone here to engage in that debate.

Isn't Ron Paul attractive to any of you guys. He would be my top choice were it not for his isolationist leanings. If America withdraws from the world, who will fill that vaccuume? We can be sure that whoever it is they will NOT be friendly to the West, then who will buy those few things we still export and where will we get those things that we can not produce ourselves? Where will come the stability to make production and transportation possible?

I see the Greens as having the most attractive platform, although I do occasionally vote for a Communist or Socialist - if research shows them to have good (non-speciest) environmental views.
