American Primaries: How dumb are the Democrats?
Posts
Let it be known I will be phone banking that day, as well. Me. For a Democrat.
If I can do it, y'all better fucking do it, too.
I lived in Georgia for ten years yet I'm not sure of this, but do democratic Georgians still have a soft spot for him?

I'll be doing it as well, while my lady love actively campaigns for the other side. If I can risk the strife that can cause, you can go out too.
Your primary is a scant 4 days after Super Tuesday, and it might not be decided that day. Not to mention Washington has more delegates than 18 of the states on Super Tuesday. There's a slew of canvasing activities planned for Seattle. You can look into one of them, time permitting.
When I was doing the phonebank stuff, I was using Skype which is infinitely easier than typing in the phone number for every person anyway. Just get like $10 Skype-out credits and go nuts.

Aren't you supposed to be a staunch Republican?
*Cynthia McKinney, Georgia. She of the airport crazy.
*Kat Swift, Texas. Trying to raise $5,000 by Friday to remain in the race. Has half of that.
*Kent Mesplay, California. Main page of campaign site can be described as 'manifesto'.
*Jesse Johnson, West Virginia. Entire online presence consists of one YouTube video.
So... yeah. It's the usual mess.

"Senator Obama, recently you rejected a handshake from Senator Clinton. There are now rumors going around on the internet that you hate women. Is this true, Senator?"
"Wolf... Are you seriou-"
"Yes or no, Senator."
I'm actually going to a physical place. I presume it is not BYOP.
Keep in mind that not everyone votes. The whole "getting out the vote" is a huge part of every campaign with 1/2 to 1/4 of eligible voters not making the extra trip. If you were a social conservative and McCain didn't do much for you, then you might not show up to vote for him even though you hoped for a republican win. Throw Hillary into the mix and there's an extra bit of motivation to get to the voting station. It's not so much about being a robot, but rather a slightly stronger push. The reverse would happen if Rudy was the republican candidate.
I'll agree somewhat with McCain, but I think Clinton would spend more time talking about the issue than really doing anything of substance. A Democratic congress would certainly be less concerned with curtailing the power of a dem president than a pub.
If you ever need to talk to someone, feel free to message me. Yes, that includes you.
Who, then, inherits his activists? Is it safe to assume they've been paying to his message closely, and will drift to the Obama camp?
Last poll had Clinton up 45 points to Obama's 19, but it was taken in the first half of December. It's surely changed by now.
It might reach me two weeks after Super Tuesday, and I've swung my parents around. It appears that they may be needed.
Let's be honest here. Jeffe hasn't been a 'staunch republican' for four years. Any struggling kicks you might see from time to time are just the effects of 20 years worth of cognitive dissonance.

He's just a republican with a heart of gold...
like a hooker...
Jeffe is the finest of true conservatives. The problem is that Republicans haven't been conservative in anything other than rhetoric for a while now and even that's debatable.

Oh yeah, and we saw what a bang-up job the pundits did in NH with "Obama Wins By Landslide"
Gotta have faith in something.
Yeah, conservatives don't really have a home. Maybe the Republicans are technically more conservative than the Dems, I don't know. Doesn't matter. The actual policies they endorse are stupid and will not push us towards anything approximating conservatism. And to the extent that they do, it's conservatism at the expense of betterment.
I have no great love for ideology qua ideology. I don't love the free market because it's free, I love it because I think that it results in a better society. Making a particular element of the market more free does not entice me if it will make life worse for more people on average. Yeah, I like the idea of free-market health care. But you know what I like better? Functional health care. Something that works, something that allows people to actually acquire care. I'll take UHC over the clusterfuck we have now. It may be less conservative, but it's more practical than what we have now, and that right there adds an element of conservatism itself.
A large part of conservatism is a willingness to deal in pragmatism, to toss aside wide-eyed idealism in lieu of what works. What the Republicans are preaching right now? That doesn't work. We've seen most of what they're peddling in action, and it doesn't fucking work. The tax cuts they offer us don't make our economy super-wonderful. The health care reforms they offer us don't result in better or cheaper care. The foreign policy they offer us doesn't make us safer or more prosperous. So yeah, maybe we should give the Dems the ball, see what they can do with it.
I used to volunteer at the polling places near where I lived.
Until 2000, when my vote didnt matter. When the popular vote was discounted for some antiquated fraud called the Electorial College, where the members of the highest court of the land got to vote twice, once at the polls, once with a gavel.
Call it a crisis of faith, but I'll wait and see if this election restores my sense of faith in American democracy. You folks hit your phones and plant your signs, and I'll cast my vote come election day, and then we'll see if any of this actually maters.
DO IT
Sith Drummer is so optimistic that he put a check on every box.

None of you guys have it? Go buy it for $5 off Amazon or something.
I'm definitely betting that Clinton would lead on the Dem side here, but I don't know by how much.
The American voters?
