Defeat McCain.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Here's hoping we won't need these come November.

[Brett66]

Just voted for Mitt in Oklahoma.

[mykdsmom]

It really ticks me off that here in NC our primary isn't until May 6th. By then it will be over and my vote against McCain will be useless.

I think the powers that be, need to come up with a rotating primary schedule so that the states that have late primary dates have a chance to cast their votes too. It's not fair IMO.

I hope all of you that get to vote and have your votes actually mean something appreciate that chance, because millions of us don't get that opportunity.

Dim caucus in NM only. Republican primary in June (fat lot of good that will do)

I get the feeling that this year will be one long political colonoscopy.

Mitt picked up 2 votes in MA from my parents.

Hoping we still have a choice in the Mid-Atlantic states next week.

Whose idea was it to schedule Super Tuesday on Mardi Gras?

[SkyPilot]

I voted for Fred Thompson today at 6:22 am in New Jersey.

And it felt great.

I was so happy he was on the ballot.

Threw my vote away? Fine. Argue against me all you wish. I won't sell out to Flip Romney, McInsane, or the Huckster.

The GOP can go destroy itself now.

[ExSoldier]

I've always wondered what the delegate count is based upon? Is it the same as the alloted numbers of Senators and representatives combined by state? If so, why the disparity between the parties? Hey, my students asked and I didn't know.

Bump!

[CedarDave]

Caught the six a.m. (8 a.m. eastern) segment of F&F. Discussing Dole’s letter to Limbaugh and how McCain was SOOO conservative compared to Jesse Helms votes back when Dole was in the Senate. Now Dole hasn’t been a senator since 1996 and in the intervening twelve years, McCain has gone sharply to the left. But not a mention of that by the esteemed F&F staff. I was seething and out of courtesy to the dog, didn’t yell or scream or hit the TV with my glass of OJ.

[CitizenM]

Did anyone see what the FOX news network just aired?

First they showed Hillary as she, Bill, and Chelsea left the polls and what she said to reporters. THEN, not as a paid ad...but as part of the on-the-spot interview just aired ..they ran the clip of her tearful, comment along the campaign trail in the restaurant where she said how she worried about America and didn't want to see it go down the drain. You remember: That "softer" side of Hillary she was told to project - so she teared up. I guess they figure she needed a boost with that image, it worked before. They could have run any clip, (or better yet, none) but they ran the one that brought out the sympathetic vote for her. Just the ticket Hillary wanted from FOX today!

Now don't tell me that FOX is not supporting Hillary, Murdoch's girl, and is "Fair and Balanced." FOX wants a Hillary-McCain race and they have employed every covert trick to achieve that.

Question about the Illinois primary:

As I understand it from listening to WLS today, the vote for the GOP presidential candidate means NOTHING. It is the votes for their corresponding delegate that counts. True?

If so, I will vote for Fred (a feel good vote) but select the Romney delegates.

[modest proposal]

I did my duty this morning and voted for romney cause i want to keep obama and hillary out.

a group of people at the front tried to give me an obama door hanger and i said ‘i’m sorry i don’t support obama’.
