I went through stages, I guess kinda like when someone you love dies. I ran the whole gambit. Denial, anger, disbelief the whole shebang. I'm at acceptance now. Acceptance that I have no candidate to vote for.

I hope you mean you'll not be voting for President. Down ballot races are still important.

Oh, yes, yes, yes. I'll be voting, just not for president. Sorry about that. I should have been more clear. What I should have said is that for the first time I won't be voting for a president.

I'm still trying to figure out how the hell Mcpain won.

(IMHO, it's absolutely crazy not to have a common primary day for the whole country).

I agree. It needs to a single day like in all our other elections. Can you imagine the chaos if all our elections, not just the primary votes were spread out so far?

When you figure it out, let me know.

I think that it was a combination of the Party's refusal to have CLOSED PRIMARIES, and a certain amount of collusion between McPain and the Huckster. Factor in Rudy's idiotic campaign, FReds lack of "fire in the belly" and the Evangelical distrust of Mormanism, and there you have it... the Perfect Storm. (I'm still at a loss as to why Duncan Hunter didn't do better.)

I'm sitting out the Presidential race this time, and may be sitting out the Senate race, as well. If Lindsey Graham wins the primary, I will have no one to vote for because even the Democrats are so happy with him that they say they will not field a candidate to run against him.

Denial, anger, disbelief the whole shebang. I'm at acceptance now. Acceptance that I have no candidate to vote for.

Me too, but I will still go to the polls. I'll just have to go pretty far down the ballot before voting.

Maybe there will be a true conservative running for dog catcher or something.

Hey, ya gotta start somewhere.
