Gore in 2000, Kerry in 2004, now Obama in 2008. Do Dems always pick the least-qualified candidate?
Just asking because the Democrats could have won this election in a landslide, now they've lost many people's votes. I liked Bill Clinton, but since I've been of voting age there hasn't been a competant Democrat on the ticket that I could justify voting for. I couldn't pull the lever for Kerry in 04, I sure as heck am not going to vote for a racist in 08. My question is do the Dems always self-destruct or is this something new?And yes, to answer some of your questions, I do consider McCain as a Very Competant and qualified leader. That's a lot more than I can say about Bush (Who I voted for over Kerry, he was the lesser of 2 evils) and the rest of the above mentioned candidates. Those who think McCain is 4 more years of Bush really need to do some research. McCain has been a thorn in the GOP's side for over a decade now.Socrates- Repubs weren't the ones voting in New York, then flying to Ohio and Florida to vote twice. They also weren't filling in provisional ballots in Ohio with names like Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse like the Kerry supporters were doing. And didn't Kennedy get in because of all the tombstones in Illinois that voted for him? Hmm... Which party is rigging the elections?And in Florida, every hand recount came in favor of Bush, not Gore. Gore lost the election get over it!
