That really bothers me, but this is mainly because of the Dr. Strangelove obsession that white and black, elitist Leftist activists have with Senator Barack Hussein Obama. This group via the leftist and liberal blogospheres have established Senator Barack Hussein Obama as The Boy in the Bubble. Nothing bad can ever be said about him. No tough questions are allowed. All his negatives are not negatives but a product of his being black in America. <a href="http://clintonista.wordpress.com/2008/04/19/liberal-blogospheres-loss-of-any-legitimacy/" rel="nofollow">The Clintonista Post</a> Liberal Blogosphere’s Loss of Any Legitimacy

From what I know, it was the Republican- controlled state legislature that opted to move up Florida's primary, so it isn't entirely the fault of the Democrats. I know that Hillary has played rough in this primary election; that has certainly turned off many voters. But I am curious- you said that you would be inclined to support either McCain or Obama? This intrigues me, as those two candidates could not be farther apart on most issues (just look at how they stand on the war). Hillary, on the other hand, is very similar to Obama in her positions. It just seems a bit odd that so many people I've talked to are split between McCain and Obama, when they are so different in their views.

I'm a registered Republican from Arizona who would either vote for McCain or Obama depending on whom McCain is up against. I do not want to want to convince you that either would be a good choice. My father told me a long time ago "vote Democrat if you want high taxes and good government or vote Republican if you want low taxes and a strong military." I was eighteen; he didn't get into the whole trade deficit/global warming/corporate corruption/welfare-from-my-own-pocket/etc. He's a Democrat. I've always voted Republican, though my last few votes and what they produced have not pleased me. Wow, I really degress. I'm thirty-four now, and sometimes we chat politics. He always asks me why, after all of this, I don't vote Democrat now and didn't then. And my answer is always pretty much the same: the Dems have the greater purpose, but they seem to always implode when they can't agree with themselves. J McCain is not a conservative, yet the conservitives are now behind him. It just seems that the Reps are always united, while the Dems tear each other apart. I mean, everyone was so upset about the Florida election in 2000 and that Bush lost the popular vote and I've listened for years about how the Supreme Court bestowed him the presidency. Didn't agree, but still had to listen to it. Now Mrs. Hillary wants to win by similiar tactics and it just blows me away. Here I was, ready to finally vote Democrat but here the Dems are, ripping each other apart and trying to deny a popular vote. I know that Florida and MI would make this a whole different race between our candidates. but wasn't it the Dems who took away their delegates? After all the damage that has been done, shouldn't we all be looking to win a general election by now? I honestly disagree that Clinton is more electable at this point simply because people will make hay with the process that put her forward, myself included. Dear Mr. (Knight)
