Who did you initially support/think would win?

I've been an Obama booster since 2004 and I figured Hillary would win at the opening moments of the campaign.  After Super Tuesday I figured it was 50/50 and I was 100% certain Obama was going to win the primary before Texas and Ohio even voted.

I never thought Guiliani would win...c'mon, look at his biography or his social-issue record!

The only thing he has going for him in the GOP primary is his hawkishness, but that doesn't get you past being pro-abortion or having divorced how many people awkwardly?

Interesting theory.

My own view on Guiliani's failure actually mostly has to do with his "brand" faltering against substance than even my own cited biographical/social issues.  The less you know about Guiliani, the more you like him.  That doesn't really favor a long campaign, let alone "I'm going to win the seventh state filled with New Yor's elderly population" either...

Guiliani was never that much of a candidate for his personal issues to emerge, but I don't think he's particularly relatable to suburban married types.

And this is coming from someone who finds Guiliani mildly appealing..

For all the people who supported Obama from the very beginning (before his first big $$$ haul), may I ask why?

2004 DNC Speech and obvious star potential
