Need some more thoughts thanks

What the heck - I'll out myself. My first choice would have been Kucinich, even though I knew he didn't have any chance, but he dropped out before he even made it to our state.

I grew up in a primary state. I figured I'd just go and vote at the primary here - then too late I learned that the dems are not going to use any of the primary results so it doesn't even matter. Really, I'm registered as an independent, but we can still pick a primary and vote in one, just as long as we don't vote in the other. hmmmm maybe I still have time to go mess with the Republicans...

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I actually worked for his campaign in '04. The point being not that he had a hope of getting nominated, but because the convention sets the party platforms as well. We were trying to get a few delegates elected so that human rights would have a tiny voice at the convention.

Six (I think) anti-war delegates out of however many thousand it was. Then the party leadership threw all of them off the convention floor. That was the end of my last bit of tolerance for the major parties. Not allowing Dennis to debate this year was just bitter icing on the cake.
