If you really want to punish Gibbs, here's what you do... |
|
Last I heard, we're still supposed to have Democratic primary elections this year in Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming as well as the District of Columbia.
If you're sore at Gibbs, let his boss know. Vote for the liberal/progressive Democratic candidate who is NOT endorsed by Obama.
Just look at what happened in Pennsylvania with Arlen Specter.
That is all...

24. This is odd. The appeal of the centrists is supposed to be electability. |

6. Nah - just reminding Gibbs where the REAL power is |
|
That way, Gibbs doesn't shoot his mouth off about how he's so much better than the Dems who put his boss in the Oval Office.

18. If this is the end result, then I'm sending Gibbs a fruit basket. |

I must admit I am more motivated now to get some new *progressive* blood in Congress.

17. Someone told you to "punish Gibbs?" |
|
If I told you to jump off a bridge would you do it? And who is this "one of you" you are having a tantrum over?

Only if you're coming with me.

5. What primary elections do we have coming up in Oregon? |
|
I voted in a primary in May. The candidate I voted to nominate for the Governor's race, Bill Bradbury, was defeated by John Kitzhaber.
fwiw, I always vote for the most liberal-left candidate on my ballot.

Never settle for scraps from the table. Always demand better.

27. I already voted for the underdogs in the GA primaries. A lot of (D) candidates are running unapposed |
|
in our primaries though. I suppose a solution to that would be not to vote for a candidate who runs unopposed. Since is is only a primary they will still get the nomination, but you send a message to the party leadership.
