the way we conduct primaries also. Indeed, why can't we all vote at the same time--or at least have one primary on the WEST coast FIRST?

Since we obviously need to remove shrubya, this election season is extremely important. So, woohoo to whomever gets the nom. That said, I agree with Tinore; it's like nothing changes.

I've been excited and invigorated by the campaigning. I've learned a lot. I've been forced to see things differently. I've learned to think about what really matters instead of just "marking a ballot".

I guess the frustrating thing is that some of us are longing for REAL CHANGE...Long lasting CHANGE. It doesn't seem like it will ever happen. It appears we are an entrenched society in terms of what the voting public envisions for this country's future. We are a modern country with all the gadgets, weapons, and techno stuff but, IMO, we are still too anachronistic in our social and global ideals.

I'm glad a Dem will beat Bush but I'm sad we won't be seeing any "ground breaking" changes any time soon.

I shift my focus now and hope that while we have a dem in office, there is a chance to continue to work for the future and for "who" will come after this next president.
