I also think it's clear that anyone who has the flawed judgment to vote for Hillary or mcCain certainly is not a judge of what is substantive and what isn't. Leave that assessment to us heavy hitters.
I assume that the one thing you find substantive about Obama is his race. Other than that, his record is miniscule and irrelevant. I can't imagine that a white, freshman Senator with a non-existent record such as Obama's would get your support. That leaves only one thing.

That's the nature of compromise. The person who is perfect for you is going to be the lesser for 99% of the country. BO is perfect for a percentage. JM is perfect for a percentage. Both are imperfect, just as Bush, Clinton, etc. were imperfect for a much larger percentage.


In regard to the money: That's a lot... but, I'm not throwing in the towel. You can put a lot of frosting on a turd... but at the end of the day, it's still going to smell like...


(How apropos. This is my 911 post.)

I have little doubt he'll be elected, but only because those on the right will vote Libertarian, (Barr) and only because more people will vote for Obama because of race, and due to the support of Clinton, sexism..

Not because he's qualified, has substance, or can provide valid reasons to earn a vote other then bribery.

If you dont mind voting for someone like this based upon absolutely no qualifications what so ever, then I'm glad I'm not a "heavy hitter"..
