It's clear, with the legacy of: gosh, Adlai Stevenson; Eugene McCarthy; George McGovern; Teddy Kennedy; Gary Hart; Paul Tsongas; Michael Dukakis; Dr. Madman Howard Dean; John Kerry ... that the Ultra Liberal Elitist wing of the Democrat Party aren't willing to examine why Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton WON their elections. And why Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, have been elected: the country isn't as liberal as these nerdniks think it is.

This, of course, includes all the MSNBC wierdos who propel the ULEs along in their dream world.

If McCain is so much a dud, why is his gap narrowing on Obama?

The circumstances.

I am a Hillary supporter. Based on how she's been treated, I've left the Democrat Party, where I've voted since 1968, including, for a fair share of the names up above. I've realized that the liberal wing of the liberal party is fried. The ideological war waged by the media and Obama's forces against the Clintons stinks. Fine. Have your way.

Hopefully, I will write in Senator Clinton's name, and vote for any other reasonable Democrat here in NM.

I will never vote for Obama.

I will hope that a heavily Democratic landslide in the Congress will force McCain to either deal, or, get run over by tanks.

I could care less about the Democrat Party any more.

To not give 17+ million voters (Dems, Indpendents, even moderate Republicans), who voted for Clinton in greater numbers than the others did for Obama ... a chance to put her name in nomination, hopefully, will be the last frigging straw for millions of us centrists.

Enough. Find a new Party. No kidding.

Center Democrats.

Christian Republicans.

Liberal Democrats.

Libertarians.

Greens.

Socialists.

And Natural Law Party voters.

It's time for coalition government.

From now on, I will respond to every poll I get with a lie: I am voting for McCain.

I won't, but let the pollsters figure it out.

With Obama, the clue is this: recent polls suggest 43% McCain-46% for Obama. That's 89%. Where are the other 11%? That's a serious, serious # of undecideds. In the last 10 or 11 primaries Clinton went up against Obama, she won more of the undecideds than Obama. That's just the way it will play out. 46% for Obama, with a loss of several points as the final three months grind on, he does poorly in debates, and people see and hear more about his ultra liberal record (along with Biden's ultra liberal record, or see a completely unconvincing Evan Bayh or Jack Reed on the national stage as VPs). Let's just say everything stays the same.

46% for Obama. He gets 4% of the undecideds. That's 50%. McCain gets 7%. That's 50%. We're into another photo finish. If McCain wins, and the Democrats win the Congress, that's good enough for me. He won't get anything done. Moderates WILL be appointed to the Supremes out of necessity and understanding that vetoes can be over ridden. Fine. Obama's shut down.

I think if Obama can't get it together; if we have more tension with Russia; if Obama is shown to be ridiculously connected like a moron to denying the Surge worked, and that's why there is talk of a 2011 pullout of troops; higher and higher gas prices; mortgage failure; McCain gains ground, not only on off-shore drilling, but more willingness to build new refineries, and, a complete review of nuclear power, after analyzing how Israel, France and Japan all have built (and Germany, too), safe and secure nuclear plants ... that's not good for Obama.

If he tries to equivocate on those hard core Leftist "no's," he's not going to gain another liberal vote.

In fact, he WILL lose some moderate voters, as people understand that the complexity of "energy independence," really WILL require major compromises in the short term (meaning, at least a decade). Again, any loss from Obama's 46% right now will be damaging.

Hopefully, enough Senator Clinton moderates will write her name in, that the DNC gets the message. If they don't, screw them. It's over. Hopefully, for millions of we moderate Democrats, we'll go elsewhere and the DNC can see yet another goofball ticket go down to defeat.

"I'm a since 1968 Democrat, Dukakis, Stevenson, blah blah blah" you know the one thing that gives you up, Republican? No one but a Republican refers to it as the "Democrat" Party.

It is "Democratic" Party, Republican.

Eat shit, troll!

I caught that too, 'Democrat Party.' Your attempt at trolling is the textbook definition of Epic Fail.

Write in Rumplestilskin fot the good it'll accomplish. lol.

I was a delegate for Kucinich in 04 and went as far as the state convention. I think our current two-party corporate-run bi-opoly system sucks. I didn't believe in Kerry. The way he came up from behind in Iowa always seemed suspect to me. I was 100 percent behind Dennis, and I thought he consistently got the short end of the stick from the MSM and his own party. It made me MAD. But I SUCKED IT UP to vote and even campaign for Kerry because nothing, NOTHING seemed worse that four more years. And look at the damage done in four years!! For crying out loud, people! I get it! But for god's sake have some effing PRIORITIES!! That's what it comes down to. You think we, and our global neighbors, and our planet, can actually take four more years of this authoritarian militaristic paranoid shite? That's a hell of a thing to take for granted. Good luck with that, I'll be in Finland.

With his selection of JOE'was-it-hair-plugs-or-a-brain-transplant'BIDEN; 'BARRY'didjaknow-my-parents-met-at-Selma?'OBAMA proves he is the equal of JOHN'the-Fraud'KERRY in his choice of JOHN'bs-latex-salesman-and-scumbag-lawyer'EDWARDS for Veep!!! SOME 'CHANGE' & 'HOPE'??? Ha. Perhaps 'BARRY' should title his next page turner 'How Ise Lost a 'sure' deal on the WhiteHouse - not helped by TONY REZKO??? [Wasn't that 'Hairplug'JOE still whining how to 'best' the NKOREANS???!!!] Well maybe JOHN'the-old-fool'McCAIN will choose equally as poorly??? WHO KNOWS???!!! Then both DEMBHOLES & REPUBLICANTS can indulge in the 'SAME-OLD-SAME-OLD' of AMERIKAN POLITICS???!!! No new ideas - no 'CHANGE'[except for the racial mix of the contenders!] - and absoltely No 'HOPE' for innovative-informed-practical leadership for at least the next four years in this nation!!!
