    I want a candidate that's worth electing.

    I've voted in four elections and I've yet to find a candidate I really wanted to be president. It's usually been the lesser of two evils, or so I thought at the time.

    What, like Daddy Bush was some paragon of nonpartisan presidential efficiency? :D ::)

    Junior is making a run for stupidest president of all time, but he didn't fall far from Daddy's tree. Or, from the tree of the senile old babbling idiot, Grampa Ronnie, either.

    In the end, he may be most similar to his Sith Lord great-great spiritual grandfather, Darth Milhous.
     
  5. I've just got to say, if Hillary can get the country anywhere near the shape it was in in the 90s with Bill in the White House, I'll vote for her early and often.

    Bloomberg wouldn't want federal funds, anyway. This guy is gonna turn on the spigot of his own personal fortune to make damn sure that he's on the ballot nationwide and buy ads when necessary.

    The thing is, he also doesn't need to spend as much early on while everyone beats each other up, since he has no primary fight. So his war chest gets spent almost exclusively from August 2008 on.

    Been true for more than a half-century . . . because of what an individual must submit to, in order to have a realistic shot at either major party's nomination . . . and don't see it ending, soon.

    Sounds familiar here, which is why I voted for Nader twice, simply to see if he could win that 5 percent.

    I didn't vote last time around, partly because I knew Kerry was gonna grab my blue-state electoral votes, partly because I wasn't registered -- and the lack of inspiration coming from the candidates really left me uninspired to register.

    Voted for Gore in 2000. Won my state, and we know what happened elsewhere.

    I wish they'd change the Electoral College from a straight state winner-take-all deal, as it is in 90 percent of the states, to a congressional-district-by-district deal. It would emphasize ground organizations on a very local level and require candidates put some effort into smaller states, too.
