Let me preface by urging you to go out and vote tomorrow, regardless of who you support. Unless you’re one of Huck’s Army, then please stay home. If you’re a devout Ron Paul supporter, do go, just to entertain the MittCains. Our entire family (me, wife, five-year-old, and 20-month-old) will be going to caucus here in Kansas.
That said. Won’t you consider caucus-voting for Barack Obama? That’s who we’ll be going to support. I can’t speak for my wife, but I’m going in order to vote against Billary as much as to support Obama. Here’s why, in a nutshell. I think McCain will beat her in the general election. I dislike her brand of anything-to-win politics (though I don’t really believe Obama is above that, the tactics Clinton has pulled out in NH and SC, and FL and MI make me think of her as Rove-like). I think the nation will not welcome her as President, I think we will remain divided, blue vs. red. And I’m tired of all of those things.
Thank you for your time.
P.S., I got the “Vote” thing here.
I watched the caucus bosses from a distance at the Iowa Caucus. They all seem the same only Obama is on steroids. That was the scene at a caucus that had huge attendance (according the B. Clinton they are unfair) . The phone literally rang off the hook from politicotapeheads before the jan 3 date. Anyway, H.Clinton isn’t that bad. Being in the middle gets you elected in the presidency, B. Clinton as diplomat is what I want out of the deal. Well, its not the real thing anyway. Wish it was. THe general election is another deal.

I used a “<<” in my transcription and it was eaten by the borg. At least it tells you about Obama and Clinton on the news.

Hey Dave, long time. I miss being in the thick of caucus things in Iowa. I have gotten a little taste of the phonebank harassment these last few days, but still. We’ll do our civic part tomorrow.
Sorry about the html parser choking on your comment. I went ahead and commented out the part that didn’t make sense.
It’s pretty cool. I was caught up in that moment in the auditorium that had seating for 300 and there were 500 and some turn outs. I hope we see that in Kansas as well. It was exciting to be a part of the process and Barack did well in the place where I poled. But it is very liberal.
Debugging a “<<” like problem was what we did at Iowa once long ago. It made me laugh.
Editorial control is under rated.
And then it will be over–the phone calls end with the caucus.
Whatever the party decides is where my vote general goes…BO would be a good candidate post W. Hillary would be such a deserved break from embarrassment of the diplomatic side of W.
Why not have equal and civil rights–
Think of all the little girls in America that will say “I am the president”— or maybe VP, who knows.
