Halloween in March

Here in Texas, for the Presidential primary, we have the opportunity to vote in either primary as well as participate in a corresponding caucus. Now that McCain has all but wrapped up the Republican nomination, it would be fun not just to vote as a Democrat, but then go to the caucus. It'll be like Halloween and I'm going as a Democrat. However, there's several different types of Democrats I could go as:

  1. The radical Marxist leftist. He uses terms like the proletariat and the bourgeois and would wear a Che t-shirt if I owned one.
  2. The feel good liberal who blindly talks about "change and hope." Nothing else matters.
  3. The liberal who is jealous of others but doesn't want to work for it. "When I see rich people, I want the government to take away what they have and give it to me!"
  4. The lazy leftist. He doesn't want to work and expects the welfare of others.
  5. The naive liberal who makes no sense. Hugh Hewitt had some Obama supporters on the radio. One thought that Obama was the best because he was going to save the planet from global warming. When asked how, she said "he would promote recycling."
  6. The centrist who policies are somewhat grounded in reality. i.e., not to go as a caricature, but try to persuade using logic.
