unless you have it exactly backwards, in which case you are obviously a troll, a paid operative, an individual deficient in reasoning skills, and a whiner. But mostly I think your investigative skills are awesome and you are a kind, gentle person, unless you're the other things.

Since my candidate used to be your candidate, does this now mean that I have to pick a new candidate in order to switch to your candidate, or did you switch your candidate?
I trust Barack Obama.
by mjd in florida on Tue Aug 14, 2007 at 06:38:22 PM PDT
i never switch candidates! i've supported my candidate for years. since before my candidate declared. since before independence was declared!

How many incarnations have you and your candidate gone through together? This is ancient loyalty.

poet who writes in a dead language cannot possibly be MY candidate.
MY candidate speaks ENGLISH thank you very much - except when MY candidate charmingly utters a few phrases of Spanish before appropriate audiences - and is at all times solidly a wo/man of the people, not some poetry-spouting egghead like YOUR candidate.
So tehre.

I'm still holding out for Russ Feingold.
Seven score and five years ago... -7.62, -6.36
by wiscmass on Tue Aug 14, 2007 at 07:27:26 PM PDT
hahahaha Feingold would turn me into a total fanboy douchebag in a second....all of a sudden I would have MAJOR problems with every candidate...and not just the DLC ones like I do now.....
by Diggla on Tue Aug 14, 2007 at 07:32:54 PM PDT
I don't always agree with everything Russ does, but he gets a lot more right than he gets wrong. I'm thrilled to have him as my senator.
It's just that when you compare his heroic stands on Iraq, civil liberties, and oversight against the actions and rhetoric of our current crop of candidates, everyone running for president is sorely lacking, even the non-DLC ones. We need a candidate to step up and start acting like a heroic leader, but as far as I can see, they're all too chicken to do it. Whoever does will have my vote.
by wiscmass on Tue Aug 14, 2007 at 07:37:45 PM PDT
....pretty much all the way around. I would actually feel "represented" if Russ was my senator. Sherodd Brown hasnt been too bad......we just need to ditch Voinovich here in Ohio and we might actually be getting somewhere. Voinovich and about 80% of the Reps........

by Turkana on Tue Aug 14, 2007 at 07:53:22 PM PDT
...it's only because your candidate is no different from a Republican.
