You will vote who ever your party nominates, I believe that. I don’t believe for a second that every Clinton supporter will based on what I’ve been reading. EDIT: Ok, the 28% that suddenly dumped in for Lake county was all from the city of Gary. The rest of the state, which is rural, will go Hillary so she’ll probably still take IN. ---

Amazing huh? > > The Wright mess will not go away, nor should the Republicans let it. Obama had 20 years to figure out what took 99% of the country 2 minutes of sermon clips to figure out; that Wright is a racist asshole. Then even as the story broke Obama could have pulled the parachute and distanced himself, instead he kept making excuses for his long time pastor. Only once the heat really got turned up and he started dropping in the polls did he decide it was time to abandon Wright. Sorry, not good enough. > > And Matt, it’s hardly just “my” analysis. Pretty much everyone from Fox News to Time agrees Obama is getting hurt by Wright because he took so long to denounce him.

Why does oboma’s feelings about this guy even matter. He wasn’t the one that put him up on a pedestal, it was news organizations that put that video up going “look at what oboma’s pastor said” It was his pastor not him. My dad was a racist fuck, but I’m not. so what does my dads opinion matter if you are talking to me. Oboma didn’t bring him up news channels kept bugging him about it. why should he have had to answer for him in the first place? ---

It should be interesting to see how many states require photo ID for the presidential election. That’s an issue the Republicans have been fighting for since before the first Bush election. We won a major victory on when the Supreme Court ruled it was legal for states to require a government issued photo idea to vote. IN required one for the primary vote last night. > **[Photo Finish](https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB120942822004851153?mod=Letters)** > > The Court affirmed the validity of protection for election integrity.

eh, I think the issue was more the forms that they accepted. It was pretty much a current and valid driver’s license, military ID or passport. I could see most old people that don’t drive not having one of those. They turned down people with expired passports and things. I’d rather see the group of old Democrat nuns got denied for using social security cards and expired photo ID be able to vote in my primary than Republicans with drivers license sent out by Rush, but that’s just me :gotme: ---

> [@Joe](#): > > I was more concerned with the fact that the dem won another special house election in an R +10 district, thats the 3rd one this year. McCain is your only hope, your boys are going to get slaughtered again in congress. That district in Miss. was huge. I like McCain campaigning in Oregon talking about global warming trying to sway a blue state over which I doubt he is going to be able to do. The more I hear about the Clinton’s and their campaign, the more I laugh. They live in a different world than the rest of us but w/e. West Virginia is a waste. It’s a redneck red state and will always be that way. Hell, the democrats in WV vote republican so the dems have no chance at winning WV in the primary. I think it has something like 6 electoral votes. Wooptie do. ---

Yeah, WV is pretty much useless but what can you do. I am just glad it’s a small percentage of the population.
