A few weeks after my previous Clinton/Obama post, here’s an Op-Ed post from the New York Times in many ways reiterating what Hart (and many others) are saying:  The Long Defeat - New York Times

Maybe—just maybe—Hillary can win. This article suggests her advisers are giving her a 5% chance. But if not, what is she doing for the party?

Meanwhile, on the other side, voters get an unobstructed view of the Republican nominee. John McCain’s approval ratings have soared 11 points. He is now viewed positively by 67 percent of Americans.

I kept up with election news daily for a while, but this has been a long campaign. By this point I’ve done my research and made up my mind. The occasional shock piece has emerged, but mostly it has been pundits speculating and repetition repetition repetition.
McCain has had the luxury of changing his stride and focus on his general election messages while the Democrats continue to wallow in turmoil.

What a crazy year this has been for American politics.

Sorry Patrick Swayze, but if Baby decides she wants to vote in a caucus she’ll have to stand in the corner. Well, that’s if the candidate she wants has their group meet in the corner.

Really? Caucuses? C’mon now, we can completely wipe the earth clean with nukes and the best we can come up with is standing around in clusters staring at each other in a farmhouse while someone counts heads and then that decides the who you want to lead the US of A? But yep, it’s true. Been that way since the first President: President Hanson. (Look it up.)

Anyway, with all the advances in technology, it seems stupid that we have any state decide who they like for President this way. Black and white movies suck mostly for the exact same reason. We have better ways of displaying images now. And to have this antiquated way of voting dictate the “momentum” of a campaign is stupid.

Hey Iowans, I know you’re backward and in general probably don’t even know what the word “blog” really means, but try this cool new thing called a voting machine.
