So I'm Standing Here With My Guy Out Of The Race
My guy dropped out of the race and to tell you the truth none of your guys impress me worth squat. It seems odd to be estranged from the process so early. Because I don't happen to think that any one of the ones left is any better or worse equiped than the others it really doesn't matter much anymore which one of them wins. Lackluster is the word that comes to mind. So whoever it is will get my vote, but that's about it.

1. My guy was spanked in IA, but I don't see the point of pissing on the parade

2. I wish them all well myself, but there won't be a dime in contributions and I won't hit the streets
Not one of them inspires me so much as to recommend them to a friend.

4. You are welcome to join us, we would be glad to have you.
I don't think John Edwards will let us down.
I really believe that.

6. Yeah, well, thanks for your help keeping...
Huckleberry, Mittens, McCain or any of the rest of them out of the White House.

It's not just about "your guy" and you can't just pick up your marbles and go home if you don't want things to get worse.

But, hey, at least you're not jumping to Nader.

Yet.

7. The process does indeed suck
Guess that's why I have never supported anyone. It's a silly fucking circus.

I try to ignore all that and look at the bigger picture. It gives me some comfort. Looking at getting every dem from the Senate on down to City Council... elected.

Learned some ugly things in 2004 about the Presidential election process with the Dems. Maybe it will change this year but I doubt it. I'll back/vote for the eventual dem nom but more of my energy will be devoted to "lesser" elections.

Sorry your "guy" dropped out.
:hi:

8. "Estranged from the process" - that's how I've felt since last January,
when Kerry announced he wasn't running.

But, someone has to be nominated, so may as well try to figure out who is the best of the rest. Even if they are all light-years behind your candidate.
