1 in 5 Democrats vote for McCain if their candidate doesn't get the nomination

Between the prolonged primary campaign, the inevitable convention fight and the looming debacle in Michigan and Florida, the Democratic Party has a lot to work through. I don't envy Howard Dean at all.

The first thing they do after this election is do away with their ridiculous way of finding a candidate. There is no reason for this process to drag into June but it will and it might cost them the White House.

I agree. The way the Democrats have their delegate distribution set up is archaic.

there it is. the new Dem excuse for losing the White House.

your early start on hedging sounds like many of our basketball fans heading into the tourney.

It might be more than an excuse, it might be the truth. I think we will know more about where the election is going once the dem winner and McCain pick their running mates. For the record, I am enough of a homer to pencil UT into the championship game.

I say that disaffected dems should vote their conscience and pull the lever for either Ralph Nader or Cynthia McKinney. It would have the same affect, McCain winning, but they might feel better about their vote.

I would vote for McCain before voting Nader or McKinney.

I find it interesting how Democrats were so concerned about disenfranchised FL voters during the 2000 Bush-Gore election; but have set up rules so that Michigan and Florida votes are not counted in their own primary elections.

Now, Hillary wants a revote simply for her own political gain while Reverend Sharpton and Jackson, who were so vocal in 2000, are against it.

Of course, that's why it's called politics. These people, all of them, will do whatever is in their best interest. If she knew she would lose those states in a landslide than she would have a different opinion on the subject. There is no way Michigan can count without a do over seeing that Obama wasn't even on the ballot. If all the candidates knew that these states would not count before the primaries started, and they did, than they should stick to the rules of the game they decided to play. The real mistake was the DNC making the decision not to count them in the first place.

but, as was pointed out earlier, it's a bit curious that Jesse and Al aren't beating the drum for the re-votes.

Those guys have an agenda and they don't give a damn about anybody else. They have made a good living pretending to care about other people's problems. I can't stand either one of them.

Now that comes as a huge shock to me.

The DNC is kind of wishy washy about whose votes should count... as in the 2000 election (but yet Bush stole it).

twins separated at birth, and Kerry was obviously the one from the shallow end of that gene pool.
