Go Obama BTW: Since Dick Cheney decided not to run it’s the first presidential election in 80 years that an incumbent decided not to run in the primaries Hotwater
I was EXACTLY thinking of Kucinich when I wrote my post. I think the fact that someone like Kucinich doesn't have a PRAYER in electoral politics is a serious commentary on the limitations of democratic systems. Kill me if you wanna for saying it. But really.
I think my ideal ticket (conceivable at this point, not a dream ticket) would be Obama/Edwards. Although the Vice President doesn't really do much. Is just from a regionally distinct region from the president. You know what'll really kill me? If 'super delegates' end up being decisive in this election. That'd be enough for me to hit the streets.
Yeah, I don't think I'll ever get used to the american system. Parties are private clubs. Delegates decide elections. Why???
Yeah. What I like about Brazilian elections is that several parties with a distinct political platform have a LEGITIMATE chance to win the elections. But reality is I have no political experience as an adult in Brazil. Came to New York too young.
