2008 alone was enough for me. It was the first time I’d ever paid such close attention to an election. So many twists and turns, ups and downs. After a while, it started to look rigged the way people were suddenly dropping out.

Yes, the 2008 race was definitely insane. No way in hell should McCain have wound up as our nominee. Only some serious manipulation and rigging of the system could have produced that disastrous outcome.

And don't forget that it happened on the Dem side, too. It took a lot of crooked dealing to force Obama to the top. To this day, a lot of Dems believe that Obama stole the nomination from Hillary.

The whole thing is rotten from the top to the bottom but I still refuse to give up.

You're from TX, so I know you remember the Texas Two Step, the Super delegates, and the local Dem caucuses that were flooded with Obama supporters (kinda like Paul Supporters) who were claiming they were the elected delegates vs, some of the actual delegates, then when they got called on it, the race card got played. There were actual fights.

I am guessing the Dem's won't have the Texas Two Step this go round in the Lone Star State.
