1. Mark my words, we will have Obama as the nomination, and not based on his policies/abilities at all. MLK and Coretta Scott King would both be weeping right about now to see him pandering to homophobes like he is. He had so much going for him just to invoke Reagan, which made no sense whatsoever for any Democrat to ever do, and then he got on his knees and groveled to homophobic jerks. He did NOT need to do either of those things. What a fucking waste.

2. Women kind of want a woman president, but women are known to roll over. Not to mention the fact that many many many women still vote just like their husbands tell them to vote, at least out here in the real world, that's what happens. I swear some people are just entirely too cushioned and sheltered to see the real world out here and what it's really like. We will NOT have a female president in this century, not because of men, but because of women who buy into the peer pressure and go against everything that even remotely seems feminist to them, despite the fact that it means they are whining and bitching their way out of rights left and right. Never mind my own extreme disappointment in members of my own gender right now. I could go on and on about this topic for several weeks straight and still have examples left over of why that shit ain't happening in this century. We won't have a female president. Impossible. Mark my words. Women will cut the throats of other women in a heartbeat and just for the hell of it.

3. Who is electable out of our party? None of the ones running are electable in this current mindset that seems to be running rampant in the party and ruining our chances. We got idealists on the far left and idealists on the far right and centrists who don't give a shit and won't bother to get out and vote unless the sun is shining and it's at least 65 degrees outside on election day. Idealist far left yellow bellied extremism, Centrist Apathy, and DINOs have ruined our party beyond repair.


4. Last but not least, I don't think my fellow Democrats care about having the best president possible. I put this option in dead last place, because if even a fraction of the people in my party wanted and believed it was possible, the best presidential candidate possible won't run for us now. Damn right, I'm talking about Al.

And out of what is actually running, if anyone gave a half a shit about the best options out of what we have been given, the race would not be between Obama and Hillary at all. It would be between Edwards and Kucinich.

Well, you asked. I answered honestly with no bones about it. This is the most open, honest, from-my-heart answer I have ever given publicly. I shall now go smash my head against a brick wall until I am bleeding profusely and don a flame retardant suit before I check any replies I may get to THE FUCKING TRUTH as I know it.
