^^ Is he actually running this time? I'll vote Nader, too, with my mail-in. Of course, I don't expect to actually be counted. It's not like I even expect to be counted if I'm back home.

I've been saying this for months. Effing DNC.

Hillary v McCain, I vote for McCain. Obama v McCain, I vote for Obama.

Seriously, who are the people out there voting for Hillary? Do they not realize how much of a phoney she is?

It seems unlikely that she'll be able to pull ahead of Obama in either the popular vote or the elected delegate count. But she's going to stick around up to the convention just to be a bitch.

If she somehow wins the nomination, I'm going to be depressed. And if Obama wins, I hope to God he picks someone else for VP.

Remember the VP doesn't have any actual power, so the people we like should be reserved for cabinet positions. -CSM

I just hope Rommney wasn't scared off altogether. I'd have voted for him in a heartbeat, believe you me. Maybe in 2012...

I'm in complete 100% agreement with this statement. Although I prefer Obama to Hillary, even more so I'd rather not see another Republican as president.

Hillary sucks, but McCain is worse. If someone can convince Hillary to stop being a damn soccer mom I'd like her more. -CSM

Career Politicians generally know less than people with some sort of experience--ironically, while Clinton claims experience, her Health bill never got anywhere, she leans on Bill Clinton and old promises to people in high places instead of appealing to the people, and she makes a faux appearance of inevitability while claiming the people who vote for Obama are delusional.

That is enough to make me say "Not only will I not vote for this person, but I would rather elect anyone else but her."

Of course, this is my extreme position. I do not claim to be justified or have proof. I just feel this way.

For everyone who says they would vote Obama over McCain but McCain over Hillary:

JOHN MCCAIN IS NOT YOUR FRIEND! HE DOES NOT AGREE WITH YOU ON THE ISSUES YOU CARE ABOUT!

That is all.

It's like in 2000. Bill Bradley would have easily made the best president, but Al Gore got the nomination (and he won the majority of the vote in the general election, too, and he would've been a good president). -CSM

Any mention of Bill Brasky gets insta-thanked.

2000 was different because Al Gore doesn't vaguely disgust me. He's boring and uncharismatic (like Kerry), but... I dunno. Something about Hillary really pisses me off. Well, no, I know what it is-- she's just such a politician. Obama stays above the fray, for the most part, doesn't smear her, etc., but Hillary uses every dirty little trick she can think of. Then denies doing it. I mean frankly she's just a bitch.

What pisses me off about Hillary is that she's a damn conservative soccer mom when it comes to free speech rights. And as moderate as I try to be, I am vehemently opposed to censorship in ANY form. -CSM

She's a phony. She ran to be Senator of New York, a state that she has no connections to (that I'm aware of), just to set up a run for the presidency. I'm sorry, NY, but you got used. (The Yankees still suck, though.)

I didn't want Gore for the same primary reason I don't want Hillary: They're both censors.

Gore's not as big a deal as Joe Lieberman was. I mean, could you live with having that in office if something happened to Al? I couldn't.

You guys are all pretty much screwed.
