I supported Hillary and now I'll vote for John. This will be the second time I have abandoned my party to vote for a Republican presidential candidate. The first was in 1972 when McGovern hi-jacked the Democrat Convention to face off against Nixon. I wasn't the only one who didn't care for our nominee. Nixon carried 49 states with 520 electoral votes opposed to McGovern's winning Massachusetts and D.C. with a grand total of 17 electoral votes. We real Democrats don't like being hi-jacked and now it has happened again. The Obama's bandwagon has rolled over the nation spreading good cheer, pretty words and nothing else. Yeah, I'll vote for John.
The coming general election in November may prove to be more important to the future of the Democrat Party than the pundits realize. One must take notice of the make up of all the new registered party members touted by Obama's campaign and where are they are mostly located. Believe it or not, race is an issue. Should Obama win the general election certain leaders of the national black community, Al Sharpton comes to mind, will attempt to become power-brokers in an attempt, and maybe successfully so, to gain power in determining the outcome of future campaigns and elections. You can bet your sweet "patootie" I'm not the only one who has come to realize this. It is a proven fact in 2008 that the inner-city voters swung the final outcome of many State primaries. Had that adulterer John Edwards been found out prior to Iowa, it would be a Clinton-McCain battle this fall. In hind sight, Hillary's campaign could been more aggressive in this matter since we know now that it was aware of John's bed hoping. I for one will no longer vote for a smiling southern politician nor an ultra liberal north-easterner like John Kerry.
What I see as "the" problem for McCain is that people who don't support him are in all actually voting against Bush and John is their moving target. Bush will go down in history more despised than Lyndon Johnson.
Who benefits the most if Obama wins? The Republican Party! It will be rewarded by a mass migration of white voters. Watch and see fellow Democrats if my words don't prove to be right. Yes, race is an issue and may become more of one should Obama be come Commander and Chief.
