And, I much prefer the 2004 John Kerry to the 2008 John Kerry.

Sigh.

Kerry was actually my very last choice in 2004 (4.00 / 4) (#87)

Kerry was not a choice (5.00 / 1) (#114)

Kerry was the nominee so early that by the time CA voted in June there was not choice.  But the Democratic Party does not get it.  The selection process is rigged to give the Volvo (hey I drive one) driving, latte (I drink lattes) drinkers the upper hand in selecting nominees, Dukakis, Kerry, and now BO.  I've join those who feel that the party does not care about my views and may not vote in the presidential election.

You're characterizing BO as an elitist, yet you support HRC? Cognitive dissonance anyone?

Obama acts like a Princeling (5.00 / 4) (#180)

It's subjective to be sure, but a lot of Democrats share that subjective opinion of him.

Clinton is widely seen as a vulgarian by the press and public. Sally Quinn and David Broder typify the way Washington snobs looked down on him and her.

One of the reasons the GOP went so hard after her and Bill was that ability to be vulgar and win elections.  It was a formidable coincidence of character, charm and ability.

look up cognitive dissonance (5.00 / 5) (#215)

it doesn't mean what you think it means.  Look up elite while you are at it. For the 5,675th time -- having money doesn't make you an elitist -- FDR was  as rich as Croesus, for crying out loud.
What has become of our educational system in this country?

Obama was just above Gravel (4.85 / 7) (#104)
by madamab on Thu May 08, 2008 at 03:20:23 PM EST
for me. Still, I liked him a lot better before I got to know him.

Sigh again.
