Have You Laid Your Money Down, Folks?

Yes, the horses are on the track, as FD Tate says in his post preceding this one. But here's my question: does anyone yet actually have a horse in this race? Is your money on any one of the candidates out there racing around the track? Is it a case of too little too early? Is everyone as undecided as I am? It's things like this, from last Thursday's DemocracyNow that make my soul quiver in doubt and indecision. Is your candidate one of those under discussion here, in terms like this?

Vote for Change? Atrocity-Linked U.S. Officials Advising Democratic, GOP Presidential Frontrunners

Independent journalist Allan Nairn and American Conservative correspondent Kelley Beaucar Vlahos discuss a little-addressed facet of the 2008 campaign: many of the top advisers to leading presidential candidates are ex-U.S. officials involved in atrocities around the world. [includes rush transcript]
Beaucar-Vlahos calls these advisors "war whisperers," while Allan Nairn simply calls them "murderers." Either way, not people I want advising my candidate on foreign policy. So, and this is a sincere question: Have any of my fellow TBV bloggers yet selected their horse? How about any of our readers? Who would it be, and most of all: why?

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."
