What's with this "democracy" crap ??
Why can't we do it like we did in the old days? Let Iowa have their caucus and New Hampshire their primary and then let a couple of other states into the game and then name our nominees. What was wrong with that? So what if less than 10% of the people decided who the nominee would be for the other 90%. Now they have to go and confuse the matter by letting people vote in all these different states. What were they thinking?

10. Most of them probably do, but you have to admit ...
Pat Buchanan always has that "what-the-f*ck-is-happening-here" look on his face, LOL! :rofl: I feel a little sorry for him ... he's a Republican, so how could he possibly understand? Their party doesn't do democracy. :P

13. The scary part is probably the record turnout.
They are running short on 'protest zones' and can't afford to buy more before November. :)

8. Well, they did declare the race over for McCain...
But he may not end up with 1190 delegates? What happens then?
