then discarded after he lost and became head of the DLC. And that is what is scary about mob rule. No one looks at what the candidate is actually saying or not saying. They just start shouting and stoning the other person.

Marcos said when he was getting ready to cast his absentee ballot why he was going to choose Obama. It was a process of elimination. He could not go for Edwards only because he was taking Federal funds. He liked Hillary personally but could not go for her because of the group she represented. He decided to go for Obama although he had reservations about him. He said that after listening to Obama speak, he was always left wondering if he had said anything. That there was no substance to the speech. People forget he was the one to say that. So even he is favoring the person he thinks can win which is exactly why he anoited Ford.

When he was running, I was like everyone else. We go with the candidate that we think has a chance of winning. I was appalled at any racial slurs against him. But when I would listen to him being interviewed or giving a speech, I was wondering if he was the right candidate. I knew he had the best chance of winning but I did not see him as a very strong Senator. I really was surprised to see him elected to the head of the DLC.
