		<description>Quote from Dobson of the religious extreme right in Carpetbagger indicates that they will not vote rather than voting for McCain, dear me, how sad (rotfl)

&quot;But what a sad and melancholy decision this is for me and many other conservatives. Should John McCain capture the nomination as many assume, I believe this general election will offer the worst choices for president in my lifetime. I certainly can’t vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama based on the virulently anti-family policy positions. If these are the nominees in November, I simply will not cast a ballot for president for the first time in my life.”</description>

		<description>Voter experience in South Jersey

&lt;blockquote&gt;He went into the machine and noticed that there was a red X listed next to Clinton. He pushed the X next to Obama and while he was looking for the button to push to record his vote, the X for Obama disappeared and the red X for Clinton came on again. So he complained to the poll worker and then went ahead and pushed Obama and then quickly pushed the Vote button before it could reset to Clinton.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>A note from Joe in Vermont ...
&lt;blockquote&gt;Three women were seen running down the Metro North platform at Chappaqua boarding the train headed for Grand Central. Bill Clinton was not far beehind yelling &quot;Come Back, Come Back! Don&#039;t Leave Us Now&quot;. It was reported that their names were &quot;Faith, Hope &amp; Charity&quot;. No word on the fourth companion &quot;Chastity&quot; who had the good sense to stay in NYC.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>While tracking through the noise on the candidate blogs - the following comments had me chucking away to myself sufficient to promt a sharing moment with you guys/gals.

Someone with the alias SvK over on the Obama site discovered the black and white graph on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pollster.com/ADemSuperTuesday.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;polster.com&lt;/a&gt; with the bubbles indicating delegate magnitude and greyscale level indicating recency (dark is more recent, lighter is further away in time).  His comment on the blog was:

&lt;blockquote&gt;POLL CHART
(for serious junkies)

Size of the balls signifies number of delegates
The Blacker the ball , the more recent the poll

Basically we are looking for black balls to cross to the left (Obama&#039;s side)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Another poster with the alias m4rk0 posted a reply ...

&lt;blockquote&gt;You might want to consider re-wording this post &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I had to think about that for a moment or two then it hit me ... I guess I just have to accept that I&#039;m a little too familiar with the graph and not sufficiently tunned to more on the ground issues.</description>

		<description>Diogenes @ 185 thanks, but I have followed your threads with interest; what I was asking for was your opinion on the current crop; accept the historical fwiw. 

I was serious about McSame; I personally think he&#039;s nuts; that&#039;s all, a clear &amp; present danger imho. Just another &#039;hero&#039; captive to Cheney&#039;s embeded chums et al etc etc... Indeed ripe for it.

Low hanging fruit if ever I saw it. But then again, I suppose, who in this circus isn&#039;t? Just asking. &amp; watching the percolated angst here and elsewhere, as if it&#039;s going to make a difference. Same tent, same show, different top hat. Big deal.

And of course, what are Mr. Rudd &amp; Mr. Smith going to say &amp; do about &#039;this&#039;? &amp; sell us? Should be interesting. Will.</description>
