Unusually warm day in NH. Voters are out in full force, so much so, that they are running out of ballots !

I missed something in there somewhere...


I get a little excited at primary time (since it's the only presidential election that matters in MA), but I'm registered as an Independent, so not THAT excited.

Haha.. its a reference to the age old practice of dead people in Democrat voter rolls who magically show up to vote on election day ! Chicago politics (Daley Sr.) was best known for this.

Ahhh...


Not to start a debate, just my two cents: I'm really not fond of the two-party system.

No, no debate, but I understand what you are saying. Party labels mean nothing to me either. I am an ideologue and vote for an ideology. For example, I think Mike Huckabee, John McCain , etc ought to be expelled from the Republican Party and that John F Kennedy may have made a nice moderate Republican by today's standards. (Though I am no moderate by any means :)


About dead people being in Democrat voting rosters, it's hilarious(to me at least) because it's true ! In most major cities you can bet at least 5% of active registered Democrats are likely to be dead , who will show up to vote anyway. (Why is it that Democrats are so against voter registration cards ? Because they want the dead and the illegals to vote, and as we all know the dead always vote Democrat.) Richard Daley Sr (Chicago Mayor 1950s-1970s) was the legend. For 21 years he never lost an election because he had the faithful dead behind him !

For me the main issue is that I don't want a side of religion with my politics.

Shamesless pandering to one-issue voters does not a campaign make. That's Huckabee's whole draw in the midwest. Other than that he is another illegal loving, tax raising, anti school choice, big govt liberal.



On the other side I am happy to see Barry O thrashing the BeJesus out of the Hildebeast. Way to go, O.

Romney on what's "good" in America: "....the fact that most Americans are religious..."

Well thanks Mitt. I can't stand that guy.

I can't believe Obama is trailing by 6 points, quarter of the votes in ! What in the world is happening ?? Somebody please explain. How could so many pollsters have gotten it wrong ?
