My early take on the presidential candidates:
-Senator Joe Biden from Delaware.
Pros: Very present on the web, this means he's aware that younger people do vote.
Advocate for affordable education, again with the awareness.
Wrote the Violence Against Women's Act.
Middle name is Robinette, has a lovely smile, had a grandpa Finnigan, and uses public transportation-250 miles a day. His mother lives with him and he says his sister is his best friend.
Cons: He's so-so on reproductive rights. (Though he says he's uncomfortable enforcing his own beliefs on all others. Basically.)
Voted Yes on prohibiting same-sex marriage, but No on a constitutional ban. He says that same-sex marriage is "inevitable." Not a great attitude.
He's a bit too Catholic.

His first wife and 13 month old daughter were killed, and both sons were injured in a car accident while Christmas shopping in the early 70s. As anyone who hasn't lived a charmed life knows, these kinds of things keep you in the realm of reality.
Personality and aura wise I like him quite a lot. He's got character. He seems like a normal, reasonable person who actually thinks about what is coming out of his mouth. He's not overly shiny (fake), and seems to kinda know what he's doing. He's not my ideal but there is no such thing.
Apparently his mother watches CNN religiously and askes God for forgiveness everytime she curses at George Bush.
If you want to know a bit about him I'd suggest watching the C-SPAN interview on his website.
