So I've stated that barring some sort of major setback, I'll be voting for Obama and holding my nose while I do it.

But then I'm voting straight Republican or Independant for the rest of the candidates on the ballot.

That way, nothing gets done in a major way so nothing can get too overly screwed up. (Like when we had a Republican Congress and Senate with Newt Gingrich and a Democrat president in Bill Clinton.) Remember when we actually had a "shut...

Hey Fletch,

I was raised in Lake County, IN - WHAT A JOKE! I was watching CNN when all this crap was taking place - when Wolff Blitzer kept asking Rudy Clay why the votes weren't "trickling in" like other states and all he could say was it was due to the record number of "early" (absentee) ballots. Even Tom McDermott - the mayor of Hammond Indiana alluded to the fact that their was something fishy going on. McDermott kept saying that all they had to do...

What went on during the primary here in Indiana was some old school politics rigging that Richard Daley Sr. would have been proud of!

Why didn't he turn...

He's the smart guy. Hillary's smart, but conniving. Plus she's got Bill tagging along, and all his drama.

Obama's a bit of a nerd, but I'm OK with that. The last two elections we kept asking dumb questions like "Who would you want to invite to your backyard barbecue?" and "Which one would you trust to walk your dog?" We started to get back to that when they made a big deal about Hillary doing shots in Pennsylvania.

Here's my...

This is the most hyped primary of our lifetime and yet NO ONE here has an opinion. Tisk, tisk, tisk.
My Gawd! Do I miss "hopfrogat" and "N.S.B's" & the cast of thousands that had opinions on the American political process the last time around.

I remember saying that the 2 party system was defunct... I can't believe how spot on I was! (I'll try not to pull a muscle while I pat myself on the back.) Could that be a reason for the apparent...
