16. Unfortunately, we live in a real world. DK is not electable. Read on,
I would vote him with no hesitation. And so would 3 or maybe 4 million other people. Not enough. Even in a 'fair election'. No way, now how can this fellow get enough popular support to come even close to challenging the result. Do I like this scenario? No, HELL no, but it is the way of the country. I'm in Oklahoma and I can GUARANTEE Dennis would not get more than a sparse handful of votes. Maybe 47. And I will bet Ten Thousand Dollars against a cold cup of coffee that he would not get (if he were nominated as the Dem candidate) more than 20% of the popular vote nationally.

I ask folks around here what they think of the Dem candidates. NOT ANY of them know who they are. And this is basically a 'democratic' county.
I can not explain it...it does seem that they all have been brainwashed sufficiently to believe that Dubya has everything 'under control'....

I stop now. Mad. Disgusted. Really pissed off.
End of rant.
