Oh, independent, those spineless weasles who claim they do not belong to any party and are responsible according to the media for putting Bush to two terms.Now I have to put your crap in perspective because a true Democrat will not continue this.
Ah more petty insults.
Given that I didn't vote for Bush during either election I find your comments amusing. "Spineless weasles"? Oh my. Because I don't feel the need to fall lock-step behind a party to tell me how to think. I think you have it backwards.
What do you mean that Jesse Jackson was not the favorite at the start when he was leading the polls at the start of the Democratic primaries?
Do I really need to explain this?
The same was in 1992, Clinton was not the leading candidate and 2004 Kerry was not the favorite. I am merely pointing out that what the polls initially indicate do not necessary mean that is what will eventually turn out.
Clinton was very much the favorite unless you were listening to pundits in another dimension apart from our own.
That is the reason they have the primary, because what turns out initially as the advantages for Hillary eventually dissipated with some of her own mistakes and the pummeling she got from the media. Ask Dr. Dean and you will understand what I mean.
I'm at least happy you admit that it was her flawed campaign that brought her down. Along with her negativity and a host of baggage carried over the years.
