I'm not digging the candidate selection, but I'll probably end up voting for the "lesser of two evils" just so I'd be a little less disappointed. Or I may do a write-in.

The guy I was pulling for dropped out. I've disliked Clinton from the start, so between McCain and Obama, I don't agree with either enough to say I'd give them my vote, but they're certainly not bad candidates either. It's not like having to choose between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich, at least it's better this time.

Who were you pulling for? I didn't think anyone had any really significant differences in their platforms other than Kucinich or Paul.

Giant Douche '08, btw.

How do you expect a woman to run this country?

You need to take a hint, baba. I moved your first post, and this is #2. Take your dumbassery elsewhere.

Yeah, it would have been nice for Obama to finish her off and be done with it, but it looks like they're destined to battle it out a while longer.

In a weird way it's good for the Democrats, because it keeps the media attention on them and not the Republicans, which makes it hard for McCain to keep his campaign newsworthy. And while the Dems will be wasting huge coin fighting each other, the fact remains that they've raised so much more than the Republicans that they can afford to waste a little.

I only have two concerns for the Democrats now:

1. How they resolve the Florida/Michigan problem. The idiots in those states are trying to convince America that the DNC "disenfranchised them" by "denying their vote", when in reality their own friggin' politicians screwed them by breaking DNC rules and moving up their primaries. (It's like being told not to steal a car, then stealing it, then complaining that the police are infringing on your civil rights by arresting you.)

In any event, the DNC is going to need to seat those delegates, and how they work this out is going to have a huge impact not only in the primary, but in the general election.

2. Superdelegates. If the candidate gets selected in contradiction of the popular vote/pledged candidate count, it's going to seriously damage the Democrats' credibility in the general election. My fear is that either Obama or Clinton get the "popular" primary vote, while the other gets more delegates. That split will make them *both* insist they deserve to be the candidate, and it's going to be very unpleasant. Fortunately, I have a feeling Howard Dean is not going to let that problem persist long; unfortunately, Howard Dean is not generally well-known for his savvy political instincts.

Guess we'll see how it shapes up in the next two months or so.
