I don't want to sound like an asshole, nor do I want to be pessemistic. I like Senator Clinton, I think she'd be a fine president. I bear no ill will toward her or any of her supporters. But if you really think that this continuation that will now likely last until August will do anything other than help John McCain, I've a bridge to sell you. ( Read more... )

When this whole maddness started, I really didn't have a canidate either way. I mean, I liked alot of the "lesser" canidates, like Biden and Kucinich for various reasons, one of which being that they wouldn't win...but between the three frontrunners, I was undecided. Over the time, I grew to strongly dislike Obama versus Clinton. It's gotten to the point where I really am not sure if I could vote for Obama at this point. It's not to the "OMG I HATE HIM!" couldn't vote for him, but depending on who his VP is (there is at least one person who, if he was made VP, I would probably not vote for that tiicket.)

There where reports that in some districts Republicans were encouraged to vote for Hillary for two reasons 1. it was pretty much assured that McCain was going to the nod and 2. they believed that he would have better chance against her the Obama. It's easier to go against a target most Republicans, Moderate Right, Moderates, and even some Democrats just don't like. The thing is we have the two step process here, while Hillary won the popular vote she did not take the caucus which means she didn't get a whole lot of the delegates. To get the lion's share in this state you have to take both of them. So here trumpeting of a big win here not so long ago was so much hot air, but given the facts those of us in the state know differently, just don't expect the media to actually, ya know, look into these things any further then what they ( ... )
