But there are things I'm kind of terrified he'll show support for (like CISPA.) Republicans would fall over each other to endorse CISPA, but if I'm basing my opinion of CISPA on principles, I can't vote for Obama with a clear conscious.
I don't think CISPA is even an issue yet. For one thing it's being significantly changed even before it's brought to the House floor and opened to amendments. For another the real action on the serious cybersecurity provisions has been happening in the Senate, with the Lieberman/McCain duelling bills. It's massively, massively boring and bogged down in details, but at the same time is critical to how the US government can respond to external and internal threats to internet infrastructure in the future.
Also an entirely separate version was introduced into the House on Tuesday which I haven't even started trying to read yet. So it looks like we have two competing House bills and two competing Senate bills, all with their own takes on the information sharing requirements and all with potential IP law significance (although I believe only the initial Rogers-Ruppersberger House bill had direct references to IP violations which are all being stripped).
My big push here is simple; NUANCE!!!!! There are a lot of complicated issues at stake here and people panicking over vague, far from written bills is starting to turn me off those groups. There should be an effort to understand the goals, explore the problems and issues and push and lobby for sensible and acceptable solutions. Or at least make a significant argument on the merits of the underlying bill, rather than a vague concept or principle that may or may not actually be represented or violated by the actual bill itself.
