I am still shocked about the democrats in this election.
Now mind you, as I always say I hate political parties in general and look forward to their demise, which seems more likely as they both keep sucking and not even sticking to their own ideals or promises.
That being said, I think the dems should have been able to win last time. The cards were stacked against Bush, and all the democrats needed to do was get a likeable candidate who could capture swing voters (The best kind, because they vote based on thought and not on which color the party is). Instead, they get Kerry in there. He may as well have spoon fed the victory to Bush. He was a disaster as a CANDIDATE. I am not wanting to get into whether or not his vision for what he would do was good. The point is he sucked as a candidate. And remember the John Edwards debate? I mean, my god in heaven! He was going to debate a man who very few people find likeable. I think Cheney's odds were horrible, but Edwards managed to allow Cheney to walk on him.
Hillary is, as far as I can tell, also not a smart choice for the dems, but she seems likely. A few friends of mine are VERY different than I am in terms of political opinions, and are generally voters for dems. I was suprised that one of them told me he doesn't like some of the republican candidates, but that Hillary is 'not genuine' and he would not be able to vote for her. I think she's a horrible choice if they hope to win. A slick opponent WILL be able to break her in a debate setting. Mark my words on that one. I don't think she has what it takes to WIN. Once again, not talking about if she'd be good or not, but I don't think she can get there.
But I can always hope for an independent to emerge who agrees with everything I want. I'll throw my vote away on a good independent all day long. It proves something.
