Item on NPR "Morning Edition" today, interviews with a couple of Hillary delegates.  One of them is giving serious thought to voting McCain.  Says she's never voted Republican before . . .

(A "spite fence" is a Maine term, a fence or hedge put up for the sole purpose of spoiling your neighbor's "view" even if it damages your own.  We can reach Afghan levels in our multi-generational feuds.)

Me, I didn't like any of the choices offered. Obama, Clinton, Edwards, McCain, Romney, Huckabee, et al.


THANK YOU.

I felt the exact same way. still do, actually.

I voted for Mike Gravel in the Iowa caucus because I was long since disgusted by the whole mess... but I still wanted to make my voice heard in the caucus/primary thing.

So...
