If caucuses are discarded, as well as the states that vote red, Obama would not have a delegate lead. This doesn’t even factor in Florida and Michigan, who Obama supporters want to disenfranchise. Caucuses shouldn’t count anyway since they disenfranchise seniors, people who work, military personnel, and so forth. If done like Washington state, my state, they don’t even check voter registration so there are thousands who aren’t even registered who participate (please prove me wrong). To his faithful, Obama says super delegates should vote the will of the people, and at the same time behind the scenes he is donating far more money to super delegates (as reported by NY Times) than Clinton. If listening to talk radio is any guide, many republicans will vote for Obama (the most liberal in the senate) in the upcoming primaries and elections, because they know he won’t stand a chance in November. Of course I am bitter because Hillary is going to lose, but the best candidates are gone thanks to an outrageously bad nominating system. I’ll probably get over it by November, but why not vote for Nader? Why should I care? Truth be told, for the first time in my life I will consider voting republican for president.
