Wake me when you democrats nominate a liberal okay? I am voting for a third party from now on.

If the Democrats nominate a candidate you'd like, they'd BE a third party.

This isn't your grandparents Democratic Party for sure! The party when the nominee in 1936 said "it has been said that the captian of industry have met their match, now let them say they have met their master!" Madison Square Garden October 1936.

Why can't it stay there?

p.s. Fire Humphrey!

Sorry, Cato. You're going to have to wait for the next Great Depression for a candidate like that. If you and your whiny compadres help throw the election to McCain, you won't have to wait much longer.

The process is just slower with Obama and faster with McCain.

When I was there in 2004, it took until almost midnight before the W states got to vote, and it was anticlimactic at that point; the other states' delegations and the media were all out partying by the time we got to vote.

No nation in history has yet discovered the secret to postponing its decline and fall indefinitely, so really, fast and slow are the only choices there are.
