Democratic Debate....What If?

Put all three in a bag,shake it ,pull one out ,and you have picked the best one.

I can see that. I'm a dem from NY....so it doesn't matter who I vote for - (NY will go dem no matter what)  However, I have a hard time voting for Hillary - I consider her a brassy broad with huge apatite  for power -which I find disturbing.  I think Obama is the better candidate.  If forced to, I'll vote for McCain - simply because it won't make a difference because I really dislike Hillary.

Interesting thought.  That would be interesting to watch if it went down as you suggest. 

I'm a republican in a liberal/democratic world too in Chicago.  Ruthmarie- one question - would it make a difference if it were a male with a huge "apatite" for power vs. a woman?  If you voted for Bush (as I did) - he is a pretty "brassy" individual with a huge "apatite" for power too.  Seems hypocritical.

Hard for me to believe - and witness in this election that women are so tough on women in politics.  Keep it up and your gender will never make it to the highest office - no matter which party they represent.   

Scott, the issue is that caring about politics for many comes with age. I registered to vote when i was 18 and never voted. People would get so frustrated talking to me because they would say that it is my duty as a citizen. I would tell them that I had no interest in politics. They would say I need to vote. I would say that I had no interest and would not vote for someone without doing research. They told me to research the issues. I told them i had no interest in politics. They usually walked away in a huff!

The point is that now as a 40something, issues have taken on more meaning to me personally, than they did when I was a 20something. As far as who is the best candidate, we could discuss this forever. It goes back to all of the media sources, watching the candidates themselves and watching commentators. Everyone has an opinion!

Scott - I think we live in a lazy society.  I doubt many would do the research needed to vote with their heart.  Instead I think we sit back and see who's shoes match or how nice the suit is tailored.  This nastiness is boring.  I wonder if we could ever really hear a message, if they had one over the mundane buzz that keeps in the media.

Scott,

I love that idea.  Too many vote because they like how he/she speaks etc.  As the line in the movie Remeber the Titans.  I learned to look at the soul of a man instead of the look of him.  More people should do the research to learn about the soul of the man (or woman).

As for as what Dorene said.  People are lazy!  I know plenty of agents that epitomize that behavior. 

 

Thanks for the post.
