ironymaideni have gotten to the point where i am really tired of Democratic primary season. the Democratic party is starving between two bales of hay. it has gone from exciting to grim for me, and i have a feeling that it's going to come down to the superdelegates and wrangling over Michigan and Florida.
and then there will be hard feelings. like there are already, where both sides seem to drill down to "if you support that candidate, you're stupid." i'm not stupid, and my friends aren't stupid for supporting another candidate.
i'll vote for any Democrat in the fall, because John McCain blew the last of his credibility with me when he voted against the Intelligence Authorization Act, which called for interrogation methods to follow the Army Field Manual (banning use of torture.) but he *did* have a chance with me, and please don't assume that everyone reading your blog thinks that every Republican politician eats babies.
if you want more independent voters like me to vote Democratic in November, DON'T CALL US STUPID OR ILL-INFORMED.
if you want to move me, tell me about voting records. tell me about the quality of their advisors, because i want to know about the kind of people they would choose for their cabinet and supreme court nominees. the rest is theater.
