December '06- undecided, had a sense the Dem nominee would win.
January '07- kind of stumbled onto supporting Hillary by default/accident.
Summer '07- after seeing Hillary's performance in the debates began to support her strongly. Felt Hillary would win.
February '08- started to realize Hillary was done. Did not think it was fair how Obama was winning-automatic 80-90% of the black vote, meant that Hillary had to win about 2/3 of all remaining voters just to break more than even. That's nearly impossible to do in a remotely competitive race where the other side is better funded. Caucus systems were undemocratic & favored Obama types. Still believe Hillary could have won in a fair fight (all primaries, 50 states, popular vote), even with the media as biased against her as it was.
June '08- switched to Obama. Wasn't sure whether he could win.
GOP: Never really shared the positive bipartisan views of McCain, even when his campaign looked like he was dead. I just thought he was on the wrong side of the issues (though he did sound like a liberal in the debates). I was rooting for Romney because I thought he would be the easiest to beat. Of those I liked the most, probably Ron Paul, but he never had a chance.
