33. and I still don't think you understand
for the political minded, outing delegate "traitors," may be fun to you.
To the majority of the voting public, who desperately search for an alternative to Bush and his hawkish administration, this kind of political infighting reeks.

Not because a guy is trying to serve his own interests as a delegate at the Democratic Convention--but because too much about politics is exactly what you describe--bickering and boasting and too little getting the job done.

It has everything to do with beating Bush--as far as I am concerned, the longer the candidates bash each other over the head, the less chance we have to winning the White House and the longer Democrats call each other out, the less chance we have to changing the spirit of this country.

Your story is not one of victory to me.
Instead, it typifies exactly what I hate about election years--a total disregard for the issues at hand and replaces them with a stilted and splintered process to nominate our candidate. We go from heartfelt policy and great ideas to outing delegates.

Understand that this is about winning back our country.
