Have fun guys and gals.

No more. I’ve already been over to the McCain folks, where I received a very gracious welcome along with many, many other Hillary supporters. I know who I’ll be voting for in November.

I mean, if I’m in a party that is using GOP tactics, like vote suppression, intimidation, and racist dogwhistles, I may as well be in the GOP. Besides, have Republican friends so I know they’re not all evil troglodytes. I don’t think McCain is evil (although I do think Bush is). Stealing votes and disenfranchising voters, to me that is evil.

Here’s another benefit to voting McCain. For the first time in many, many, many, many years (actually not since I voted for that hood-wearing KKK member Bill Clinton), I’ll be voting on the winning side. It’ll be a nice change.

Anyway, that gal spent 20-30 minutes talking to me about this problem. She expressed her own frustration and said that she was talking to more and more people just like me–people who do not want to donate a red cent until they figure out an equitable solution to Florida and Michigan. She also told me that Howard Dean had held a conference call that morning to discuss the situation with Florida and Michigan and possible remedies. I doubt that this woman would have wasted so much time talking to me about this problem if the DNC were not suffering as a result.

For what it’s worth, I’ve looked at the numbers for Florida and Michigan, and even with those delegates, Hillary still trails Obama, although the difference is much smaller. I honestly do not see how Hillary can catch up with Obama at this point, which certainly saddens me because Obama is a complete train wreck. In the end, these “Super Delegates” will make the ultimate decision about who will be the Democratic nominee for POTUS. I do not really expect these people, practically all of whom are pols themselves, to buck the popular vote or the pledged delegate count. Hence, we should all be preparing ourselves for the likelihood that Obama will be the Democratic nominee for POTUS.

If Obama had a grain of sense (and given his gaffe about 59 states, that seems like a stretch), he would be magnanimous and accept seating Florida “as is” and allow a re-vote for a Michigan PRIMARY. Obama’s resistance to seating Florida and a new primary in Michigan tells me that the Obama campaign is afraid that he is actually LOSING GROUND with white voters. Otherwise, he would accept whatever “ground rules” that the Clinton people want to impose because, as I said above, the numbers are just not there for Hillary. It’s things like this that make this Democrat want to bolt from Obama–i.e., in his pursuit of the nomination, Obama seems to be just as willing to bend and distort the election process as the Republicans were in 2000 and 2004.

I cannot agree with others here that McBush is an alternative to Hillary Clinton. I may ultimately write someone in, if Obama does not show me more than he has shown me thus far, but I honestly cannot understand ANY Democrat who would support McBush, given his positions on the various issues. I will also be looking at the person that Obama chooses to be his running mate. While it seems like a long shot for Obama to even ask Hillary to be on his ticket (particularly with Obama’s bitch wife calling the shots), stranger things have happened–just look at Kennedy and LBJ back in 1960. Would people here who have vowed to vote for McBush if Obama is the Democratic nominee still feel that way if Hillary Clinton were in the VP slot on his ticket? I know that no one here really wants to see Obama at the top of the ticket, but wouldn’t Hillary in the second slot give you a reason to reconsider the Democratic ticket this year? It certainly would give me a reason to support Obama in the general, which I currently do NOT have–I only have a desire to avoid another Republican who can put corporatists on the SCOTUS and other federal court appointments.
