LOL!! Ok, I just have to jump in here to make a few very minor points...and a few opiniated comments. LOL!!

First:

Obama was not on the ballot in Michigan and she got 300,000 votes so this counts?

Obama was not on that ballot by choice. He figured that since, and this is not in dispute, the local party violated procedure( just so some stuffy insignicant yankee's could be FIRST), then he didn't need to place his name on the ballot anyway. That's pretty arrogant if you ask me. FWIW..and I don't have a dog in this fight really b/c I don't like either of them...I think regardless of what the Party wants, the votes should count b/c if they don't then you effectively make an entire block of voters pay for the mistakes of a very few. No matter what your claim is to the contrary, we still..or at least we should still cling to the ideal of one person..one vote..and that vote should count. Remember Florida? Remember the chad brothers..hanging and dimpled? 300,000 votes is a lot of people to tell that they don't matter.

Next:

No...because she's grotesque, makes me want to vomit, and she sucks ASS.

Now there's a well thought out concise and educated political response if ever there was one. Did you steal that from buddah?

Now for my opiniated comments:

The whole idea of a caucus to me is idiotic. Of course, I also find the idea of an electoral college to be idiotic as well as super delegates. The idea of super delegates says that a superdelegate's vote carries more wight than that of the common man on whom this countries livelyhood depends. I believe that the only vote that should matter is the popular vote b/c it represents the true will of the people. For better or worse, it should be the PEOPLE that elect our leaders not the eletoral college/superdelegate/caucuses. Winner take all. This would eliminate a lot of the crap we have had to endure these last few elections.

As I said, I have no hidden agenda. Hell, if both of those liberal dung heaps would be hit by a train tomorrow, I'd be just as happy then as I am today. In other words...I wouldn't give a shit. I don't believe in carte blanche gubmint hand outs and that is at the core of Liberal thinking and it usually costs hard working americans a lot of money to fund all the special programs that are created as a result. If people have a sound mind and able body then they should be working their fingers to the bone just like the early immigrants to this country did, NOT sitting in some gubmint program office looking for a perpetual hand out. So I guess that is my motive if there really is one. I don't want a damn liberal president. I don't want touchy feely. I don't give a crap about those who aren't willing to first help themselves before asking someone else for help and I see that crap every day.

I digress...my point is that our election system is flawed..badly. The popular vote..no matter who it is for, should be the sole deciding factor in who is elected. The idea that I cast my vote for an electoral college and not actually for the candidate of my choice, is absurd. We have grown beyond the fears of the founding fathers. Today's electorate is mostly educated, not ignorant and too dumb to be able to cast the vote that they think will best bennifit them. If people don't show up to vote then they have no right to bitch about who is elected..it's that simple. We need some serious election reform in this country or we are doomed as a democracy since each side will continue to up the ante until the cost to the average american becomes too great.
