Excuse me? We have everything to do with the nominations...who do you
think does the legwork for their candidates? And contributes the money?
And goes door to door campaugning and posting signs in their yards and
stickers on their bumpers? If you say that we, the people, have nothing
to do with that , then this isn't the USA and we don'y have any rights
left to us at all. Shame, Thom.

The Mob?

Katy,

Just keep dreaming. In reality you get to vote for ONE ELECTOR in YOUR
STATE.
Didn't Bush getting elected teach you anything about Presidential
election? The popular Vote means NOTHING!!

Our government is a REPUBLIC!! It isn't a Democracy as you apparently
believe. A REPUBLIC! Learn about your government. It was formed as a
REPUBLIC which is different than a Democracy.

It is a democratic Republic but a REPUBLIC it is! You should learn the
difference.

Excuse me...we were talking about choosing cadidates, not the actual
electoral process..
and I am well aware that we are a republic and not a democracy and how
the electoral process works...you are diverting from the original
discussion of choosing cadidates to run...and BTW, your voting for an
electoral vote IS voting for an individual....so get back on
topic..which is choosing candidates to run...and don't take that tone
with me...

Katy is correct. The topic was the primaries but Thom made the unlikely leap to the
presidential election and the electoral college. But, we must not forget the real issue
in the upcoming primaries and that is women like Katy are going to be the key to whom
the candidates are because women represent the swing vote. I'm Ted Bell and I
know all about swinging! I'm just that kind of a loveable guy. Come to Ted's of
Beverly Hills for a steak that's a mouth-watering delight.

I'm Ted Bell!

I'd agree, at least in part. Moderates--sitters upon the proverbial
fence--will also play a big role, just as they did in the immediate-past
midterm election. If the Dems controlling Congress don't live up to their
claims of "working with the President" and "restoring faith in the political
process," there will be another moderate backlash, but I doubt if they'll go
GOP. They probably just won't vote. That may give someone like Nader or
another dark horse the opportunity to be a majordomo spoiler for either
party. Should be an interesting election.

This is sounding awfully gay, Mr. Milstead.

How about the Republican's claim of "working with the Democrats" and "ending
the bickering"? How about Bush's claim of the same sort? I think it's up to
them to start doing the right thing for the country.
