I prefer Obama all the way and none of your Hillary jive is going to change my mind.

As a chess person, I have to tell you that knights before bishops is a stupid rule. Some of your favorite variations violate that rule. It was never a real rule. In some positions, bishops before knights work better. Consider variations where a backward pawn works out fine. The positioning of the queen has an important effect as well. If you have moved your pawns from in front of your king, you must compensate by adjusting other pieces because the top grandmasters do the same thing in the same position. They castle and then move g4 with every intention of seizing a space advantage. You knew you could get away with this or that, because the opening books gave it an = or better, or because you've played that position many times and you get good positions from it.

Hillary doesn't know anything about positions (Bill does and I think he prefers horizontal) but I do agree with your comment about her horsing around. I wouldn't trust her with a nickel.

And Obama's preacher is not Obama, okay?????
