When this process started, I had my eye on two individuals: Joe Biden and John Edwards. Biden dropped out after the Iowa caucus, and Edwards dropped out the week before Super Tuesday, so I begrudgingly voted for Barack Obama.

Oh, fucking lord. I put up with the fact that Bush's elections in FLA were legit when they were under fire, and I'll put up with it in this case, too.
BO has the popular vote. Get over it, and try again in the general election. Good luck, you're gonna need it.
Maybe CNN will give Florida to Obama today!!!!! |

Well, I voted for Edwards in the primary. I live in Las Vegas NV and was registered as Ind. was too late to participate in Rep. caucus as we had to be registered as a rep. by Dec. 07. Ithe Dems don't care and I wanted to participate in a caucus as never has done so before. I was a chairperson and it was a mess. Obama people had attorneys and running and fighting all over the place while clinton and edwards supporters were very quiet with no problems. Clinton won my caucus. a couple of days later I re registered as republican. Crazy Democrats. LOL Especially those Obama people. I was called a racist and everything else by obama supporters. They were a real class act.  |

BOs camp had to be race based..he had to use something to make ppl feel sorry for him...what is really bizzare is his entire workers are white with a sprinkling of blacks...LOL. |

Just because the media makes a deity out of one candidate doesn’t mean everybody has to flock to him. Biden is a good guy. Sure, he’s arrogant and a bit of a windbag, but he is way more mature than Obama. Edwards, on the other hand, doesn’t strike me as a genuine individual. I decided not to vote this year. I was too disappointed with the field. If Evan Bayh had decided to run, I would’ve voted for him in a heartbeat. |

Yeah, pretty slim pickens this year. Only one qualified cantidate and not really enthused about him. A little far to the left but nothing like obama. I will vote for Mc Cain. I always vote.

The only way I’ll vote for Obama in November is if he picks either Evan Bayh or Sam Nunn to be his running mate. If it’s anybody else, I’m going to stay at home. This could turn out to be a disappointing election year… Of course, the Democrats in the Senate may be able to gain enough seats to have a filibuster-proof majority, so some good might come out of it. |

You are right as if you don't vote, the one you really didn't like can get in. |

I didn’t vote in the primary season and will not vote in the general election. I was very unhappy with what the Democrats had to offer this time around. Too bad Wesley Clark didn’t run.  |

I was called a racist and everything else by obama supporters. They were a real class act. That's rediculous! It angers me how emotionally attached people get toward politics. Back in 2004, my wife was taking our daughter to her cheerleading (football) game with our 2 sons. (At the time ages 10, 4, 6 months) when she was approached by a group of Kerry supporters. When she told them that she didn't like Kerry they proceeded to tell her that "Bush was going to kill her kids". I'm not sure how long this went on for but eventually a cop came over. They continued to tell the cop "you aren't protecting anyone, who are you protecting?" Finally they left. |

They continued to tell the cop "you aren't protecting anyone, who are you protecting?" Finally they left. I was in a store with a Hillary button on my pocketbook..2 black women came up to me and got in my face and was talking shit..I turned around to leave and one tried to rip the button off my pocketbook..I said, listen, you had better backup, mean while ppl are watching this as it was getting loud..I tried to walk away but they kept following me..They were calling me names like cracka bitch..they again tried to get my button..I put my hand behind my back and my husband grabbed my hand as he knew what i had behind me and said, forget it, the cops are coming..the women started yelling, let the mofo cops come and all kinds of other shit (typical)...The cops came and arrested them...at least 30 ppl saw and heard everything, including some blacks..The women were spitting at the cops and saying, wait till Obama is president.. and the cops said, maybe you should make obama your first phone call..Then they yelled back at me that i had better not come back in this store and they were gonna whoop my ass good..and the cops said that was a terroristic threat and they would also be charged with that...and they were still screaming and told me they better not see me on the streets...so the cops said, well you're not going to be on the street for quite a while..I am not the least bit worried..They better hope to God they don't see me on the street...as they picked the wrong woman to mess with. |

Jesus, that's horrible. Over something sooo stupid.
What ever happened? Did you have to press charges or hear from the police?
