I voted against the DLC & the corporate machine yesterday.
Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 10:27 AM by 8_year_nightmare
I went into the booth intending to vote for Clinton, but when I saw Edwards' name included, I had to vote for my interests. I left the booth with a clear conscience, and I'll have no trouble voting for the ultimate Democratic nominee.

But I sure wish them lots of luck & wise strategy.

1. Well never complain about Barack's Present votes. As you see sometimes you have to just do what's
right for you. And the best choice is to announce your presence and dissatisfaction with the choices.

4. Poll commissioners seem to enjoy expressing their dissatisfaction as well.
One of the ladies at the table yesterday made a comment about not liking any of the Democratic candidates, nor the Rethugs. Later on in the evening, I had a conversation with a Loyola student, who I know to be a Democrat. She said she was afraid that Obama would be either assassinated or that he'd be manipulated by the machine if he were president, & that Hillary would be under a microscope if she were president. She said she may end up voting for McCain. I told her that any Democrat would be better than another Republican; at least they were more open to public criticism than Repuplicans, who have shown that they could care less what the public thinks & how they are affected.
