1. I voted No until the March 2 primaries are in the books |
|
With over 1,000 delegates at stake anything can happen.

If the democrats want to call it over before I get my turn, do they really want me to be a democrat?

every single freakin' primary since the beninning of time.
It's got to change. Maybe now enough people will be upset about it being decided before they get to vote to affect a change.

7. I'll be with you in supporting change. |

What kind of process disenfranchises 75% of the voting population?

Not before Kerry has a majority of the delegates.
Not even then.
The primaries just provide too-good media exposure for Democrats, particularly Kerry, so don't call the race over -- even though it is.

4. I did not cast a vote. |

Not enough choices.
Calling the race over and/or forcing candidates out before one candidate acquires the majority of delegates essentially means disenfranchising thousands upon thousands of Americans.
Democracy is never served by truncating the process.

The competitive portion of the race is over. Several candidates will continue to the convention, however, for various reasons.
