One more question - Now that the repressive's have no primary
will they mount an effort to screw up the Dem primary?
Would seem to be their style.
If they did what would their strategery be? I have been trying to think like a freeper but it's not easy to make oneself mindless.

1. O, I don't know
maybe get Patty Judge to run with Culver. Maybe diss Ed Fallon and say he is unelectable one more time. Pick a GOP contributor to run with Mike Blouin. But they'd never be that clever.

2. Hahahahah
Or were you not trying to be funny?

Here's a LTTE from the DMR for Blouin/McGuire:

At last

Finally, someone in politics who votes for the person, not the party ("Blouin Running Mate Has Been Republican," March 1).

Who cares that Dr. Andrea McGuire has been both a registered Republican and Democrat?

Many of us have done the same thing in order to vote for the most qualified person. I know I will be changing my party affiliation in order to vote in the primary.

Recognize the last name? republicans will be voting in the Democratic Primary for who they perceive to be the weakest candidate (except for here in the First District where we have a republican blood-feud going on). Right now, especially after his dismal showing in preference groups at the County Conventions, that candidate is Mike Blouin. Great, just what Democrats want - republicans telling us who we should vote for.

3. I was being a smartypants.
Seriously, do we have any viable Green candidates? Or maybe Fallon will do. I am voting my conscience this year since I wish to be reincarnated on a higher spiritual level. I figure Bush and those guys will probably get us all killed anyway so I am going to return to the ideological purity of my SDS days and go out with an untroubled mind.

5. O now. I hope not!
Although after reading Dante it looks like most of the interesting conversationalists are going to be in the Hell section.

6. So, what, you'd rather be a little hot and thirsty
than bored? :7
