Are you waiting to decide until after you see other states results?
At Christmas Dinner I was surprised to hear so many say they didn't know who to support and that they were waiting to see how the Iowa and New Hampshire votes work out. I asked if when the MSM picks their horse, they were going to go with the winner. Seems crazy to leave it the early states, so I hope everyone knows their date and gets their chance to support their guy (gal) even if the MSM is saying there is no chance. Here's a nice summery of Primary Election dates.

5. Yes
I always wait to see which direction the first part of the herd takes off in. I will then wait for the media to offer quasi-acceptance of the early bird choice, by their increased coverage of the winners, discussions of momentum and clever magazine covers. At that point I will convince myself that I was leaning toward that person all along, and suddenly find interest in their issues, as if they were my own. The last part of my conversion consists of discovering or creating numerous reasons why the candidate is at least better than any republican, before finally joining in on the cheer leading and affirmation that will ensue from that moment on. In the end I will congratulate myself for being so original, and feel good because the rest of the country thinks just like me.

6. There's no use in me picking a candidate
I live in CA and by the time our primary rolls around most of the candidates have already dropped out. I have to make a choice between the 2-3 that are left. x(
