As Dcap says, it's a wonder the 2012 primaries haven't already started--so the losers in this go-round will have a platform for continuing their campaigns right on through to next term.<BR/><BR/>This whole business just exhausts me.dguzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811101661607351661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196489532814593259.post-48552985288392340202008-01-11T17:49:00.000-06:002008-01-11T17:49:00.000-06:00the whole system is a jokei am surprise the 2012 p...the whole system is a joke<BR/>i am surprise the 2012 primaries havent started yetDistributorcaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149154929149577121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196489532814593259.post-34693005606677359672008-01-11T00:39:00.000-06:002008-01-11T00:39:00.000-06:00On Wisconsin!On Wisconsin!Dr. Monkey Von Monkersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14370062692837972451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196489532814593259.post-42748554871733490882008-01-10T21:08:00.000-06:002008-01-10T21:08:00.000-06:00Here's hoping it goes all the way to Wisconsin.Here's hoping it goes all the way to Wisconsin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196489532814593259.post-73617783922193355152008-01-10T19:22:00.000-06:002008-01-10T19:22:00.000-06:00Oh.

Being a Californian, I didn't really have to think about who I was going to vote for until May or so, and plenty of years the decision was moot.<BR/><BR/>In 1968, when I was a fresh faced lad of 12, I worked for Gene McCarthy. Bobby Kennedy didn't even enter the race until AFTER New Hampshire, and his early results weren't exactly a landslide. He said he needed to win in Oregon to be a viable candidate. McCarthy beat him in Oregon. I remember this distinctly because I heckled Bobby Kennedy in Oakland a week before he died. The local paper had a picture of him in a motorcade waving to the crowd, with yours truly holding up on high a sign that read "Viable?"<BR/><BR/>This compression of the process really irritates me. I have to decide if I will vote for Edwards, my favorite of the leading three, or Obama, just to make sure it isn't Hillary.<BR/><BR/>As for Kucinich... we need brave people in the House of Representatives as well.Matthew Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769958949302039878noreply@blogger.com
