Exactly - I say give the guy a chance. As long as he played within the rules - he should have as good a chance to run and serve as any other slick politician.
This was a primary, so there were other candidates were in the RAT column. Somebody suggested that his name came first, however, and Dem voters, being dumb as sticks, simply chose the first name they saw.
Let's be truthful. This doesn't just apply to Dem Voters. It applies to everyone, and it isn't because we are all dumb as sticks.
Several hundred years of research has proven the following:
Being first on the list makes a difference.
Why do you think that Advertisers/Websites on the Internet PAY great amounts of money to be FIRST on the list returned from a Google Search?
I would suspect that the percentage of DEMS and REPUBS who prepare for every VOTE by looking up the candidates for each office and the text of each proposed referendum, is very small.
Most people, when voting, recognize very few of the names on the ballot other than the Top position (being first makes a difference), and some other controversial candidate/position which has made the news recently.
Their 'trend' then, is to pick the first choice that is of the same party they are.
It is a human thing. A societal trend. It does show that our society, in general, does some pretty 'ignorant' things, while claiming to be 'advanced'.
He certainly could not 'do' or 'be' any worse than many of our current political officeholders.
The Democratic party has stated, and demonstrated, that being a total slacker is an acceptable way to deal with the responsibilities of an elected position.
I could name dozens of examples, starting with the TOP elected position in the US.
I would suggest that GREENE's COLLEGE GRADES were much higher than Precedent Obama's. I bet Greene would hand over his Birth Certificate if asked.
I would assume SC does the same thing. He would be the first listed in one District, the second in another and so on.
When they're both on stage, you won't be able to tell them apart unless Obama is using a Teleprompter, and I don't mean because of their looks. Dumb and dumber in real life.
