I am so not happy with last night's primary results. Yes, I am an Obama chick. But more importantly, regardless of who the nominee will be, we (Democrats) need to wrap this thing up sometime soon--we cannot let this drag out until May--and start focusing on the general election or else we'll be at a major disadvantage. So please, can we just get this over with?
Howard Dean, I'll be waiting for you to step in and help get this deal closed one way or the other.
Good luck. I don't think anyone's going to back down or provide any resolution to this for a long time coming.
I totally disagree. Among other things, I just wrote this over at my place:
Continuing the primaries will keep both candidates sharp and will meant that McCain to divide his attacks, all-the-while getting hammered by both Clinton and Obama.
I think this is a good thing. It's not the primaries that have been long, it's the fact that Obama and then Clinton entered the race in Jan 2007--an entire year ahead of the first primary!
I'm with desertdemocrat on that one. The thing that really pleases me is that the voter turnout has been outstanding -- and as a political scientist I only see that as a good thing for our democracy. :-D
I'm with desertdemocrat and disenchanted: Primaries and caucuses force campaigns to organize local folks. That's all to the good.
i agree with you cheeky. the problem with the continuing primaries (and i too am for obama) is that o and keep attacking each other, and will end up weaker in the generals. i mean it's all well and good that almost all the states get to feel like they "have a say" in the nominee, but at the same time, it is about winning in nov.
I'm with D & D; it's been so long since our process did anything approaching a decent job at a public discourse, I'd like it to run its course. I'm still hoping that one of the Dems will say something I can agree with; I voted for one, then wished I'd voted for the other. Right now? I don't know who I want - but I do want the process.
