Well;; After reading the post inASA including mine, I'm so so glad we have nothing to do with the nominations. http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomJazz http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage 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. |

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. http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomJazz http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage |

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. Max |

I think it's up to them to start doing the right thing for the country. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Politician: seeking just two things: your money and your vote. Max |
