this is a very sorry situation and the crazies on either side just don't get it. The NC primaries are coming up next week and I have repeatedly asked myself what will I do?
Thanks to Jerry Meek, the head of the state Democratic Party here in NC, when John dropped out Meek decided to remove his name from the primary ballots so I won't even be given the opportunity to do a write in vote.
My Mom is the Democratic Judge in her voting precinct and I've seen a sample ballot for the May 6th primary. Democrats can vote for either Gravel, Clinton, Obama
OR No Preference for President. I can't even say I want Edwards--which just sucks. I feel like my voice is being stifled and I can't even say whom I want. I just want this election season over.
My biggest fear though is what comes after the election. Not to be a downer, but I think that if Obama is elected that a hard reality will become very apparent after he takes office and all his rabid supporters will get one rude awakening. I don't see it as much if Hillary is elected, but there might be some.
I have never been so conflicted about a national election as this one. I don't want McCain in office because I know what will happen with him. On the other hand, not voting, or throwing my vote away on a principal is something I've never done in all my years of voting. Yet can I hold my nose hard enough and vote for the Dem nominee.
Damn! Damn!! Damn!!! :argh:
