Once again, thanks to my local radio yappers, I was forced to endure yet more ranting about the US political debacle. This time the squawking centred around who might be the next Dem candidate: Obana or Shillery. Possibly Kerry or that other guy, what's his name... used to be VP.
And I got to thinking ...... they can't be serious. I know that the left likes to push itself as supporting the odd man. But ... in the last election for senate and congress, their big winners were ... the middle road guys. The closet conservatives.
Now, I don't know exactly how it's done in your neck of the woods, but up here, it's the party members who decide the candidates, but the general populace who decide the winner. And while I can easily see the party members (who are usually rabidly blind in any party) putting a half black man, or a woman in as candidate, ..... I don't think anyone's fool enough to believe that the entire country is ready for that. Are they?
