count every vote

May 28, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I’ve now watched the film “Recount” a couple of times, and the message so clearly sent is the importance of counting every vote. I get it, some reading this get it, and Marc Rubin, posting at TaylorMarsh.com, also gets it. It seems that everyone except Obama and his supporters get it.

Nothing is more detrimental to the country as a whole than political corruption in any guise. So the statement issued by Barack Obama the other day regarding Florida and Michigan should be seen for what it is: a politician willing to engage in whatever undermining of the democratic process it takes to achieve his political ambition.

I encourage you to read the rest of the post.

caucuses vs. primaries

May 28, 2008 · 2 Comments

Since hearing the report from close friends who were in Iowa, the caucus system doesn’t seem to be the best for selecting a nominee. They limit participation and create an atmosphere where voters may be intimidated. Try opposing your boss, or maybe your spouse, in full view of everyone.

Jeralyn, at TalkLeft, has an excellent post you might want to take a look at: Caucuses vs. Primaries : A Report

What has 2008 shown us in terms of the fairness of the Democratic nomination process? That the caucus system is neither fair nor representative.
