19. It is very different than Gore vs. Bush
Edited on Thu Feb-21-08 12:17 AM by MN Against Bush
In Gore vs. Bush Gore won but was denied the Presidency because they denied people the right to vote and refused to hold a fair and accurate count of those who did vote. There is nothing of that sort happening in this situation. I don't like the way the primary calender is set up, but the way it is the last states have never had any impact after one candidate has carried a big enough of a lead, and after Obama's numerous wins his lead is substantial. I just don't see any chance of Hillary winning, if people want to vote for her I am not denying them that vote like they did in Bush vs. Gore, they can still vote for her but let's be realistic. She is not going to win. I voted for Kucinich knowing he was not going to win, and Hillary supporters have every right to vote for her but I think it is important we all consider the damage that would be done if super delegates were to choose our nominee. I sure know I was not too happy when the "super delegates" on the Supreme Court chose Bush in 2000.
