So I don't know if my vote next week will even count for anything. As for the debates, I'm sick of them because they are stupid. They aren't debates, they are more like spelling bees. Okay candidate A, you have 45 secs to tell us how you would end the war.

I bet on the second watch, you catch a lot of facial tics & body language. Still nothing from the glacier queen, though.D.K.

If he doesn't do better by Feb 5th, his chances go from snowball to melted puddle. I still like his positions and plans best, though. If you want to know more about him, you could look at his website:<BR/> <BR/>http://www.johnedwards.com/issues/<BR/><BR/>that takes you to the "issues" overview page. Click on items listed "In Depth" for his proposals on various issues. many of his plans were later incorporated by O & H. He's received little media attn, but outright animosity by those special interests he is itching to take on. I keep hoping he & Obama can team up some how, some way.D.K.

Given that the US media also relegated the guy to 'who cares' it is difficult to get his number. <BR/>I think, being the minority - a white guy - in this campaign he has a snowballs chance in hell of getting attention.<BR/>For all of that I would like to know more.

I think Kucinich got 4%, Dodd 1%, so that means 45% of the dems that turned out, did NOT want to vote for Hillary. It's skewed though, because I suspect many dems, realizing it had become a meaningless primary for them, stayed home.<BR/><BR/>Dada:<BR/>Which is to say "What democracy?" ... I dunno, how are we gonna make it til November? There were a few good debate moments, though, as well as missed opportunities. I was hoping for more crowd pans because I kept hearing disgruntled noises and one guy outright screaming about racism. What happened to that guy? Was he strong-armed out like at a repub event?D.K.

This is a real abuse of the system, and a genuine catch 22. You can't get higher vote counts if you can't get your message out & equal/fair air time for the debate process.<BR/>This reminds me of the poem:<BR/><BR/>First they came for the Jews<BR/>and I did not speak out<BR/>because I was not a Jew.<BR/>Then they came for the Communists<BR/>and I did not speak out<BR/>because I was not a Communist.<BR/>Then they came for the trade unionists<BR/>and I did not speak out<BR/>because I was not a trade unionist.<BR/>Then they came for me<BR/>and there was no one left<BR/>to speak out for me.<BR/><BR/>Pastor Martin Niemöller<BR/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR/>As for corporate media:<BR/><BR/>First they omitted the progressive candidate--<BR/><BR/>This is a dangerous path to go & it silences the real thought & debate process.<BR/>I think that We the People have to insist that the debates MUST include all ligitimate candidates- and it would be nice if they wuld put the debates on PUBLIC AIRWAVES.<BR/><BR/>As for the MIchigan primary-- Are you kidding me?<BR/>Hillary, Kucinich or Undecided?<BR/>Oh bloody hell.<BR/>Now lets see how the media spins this, tomorrow's headlines could read like this:<BR/>• Hillary on a role<BR/>• Undecided Kicks Ass!<BR/>• Kucinich- No debate access, but listed on the Michigan primary ballot?<BR/><BR/>Here it is January 15 & we are alreay revolted with the whole process.<BR/><BR/>We should keep a running spreadsheet of all the perils along the way in this election process-- or maybe not, or we'll never make it to November.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.com
