Do You Feel Cheated Too?

What the heck is going on with the presidential elections this year? This isn't the first time that I've voted in a presidential primary, but it is the first time that I believe my vote was negated in some way. It doesn't matter if you are Democrat or Republican. Each party lost candidates that we in Wisconsin as well as most other states never even had a chance to vote for!

Is Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos working? It seems like the Democrats have created their own chaos.  What is with these "super delegates"? I keep hearing that if they don't side with their state's winner, there may well be a voter riot, election sit out, migration to McCain or perhaps to the Corvair killer, Ralph Nader. Yeah, I had a 1966 Corvair Monza in high school.  If these super delegates are not free to vote their will or be swayed, cajoled or bought, what is the purpose of them then? And do I need to comment on Florida and Michigan? Isn't the Democratic party the one that tosses the term "disenfranchise" around like salt and pepper at dinner time?

What about rumors of Al Gore stepping in to settle the foray? Or, would it be, truthfully, too inconvenient to take four or eight years away from convincing the planet that we are responsible for sun spots and other cyclical solar and climatological events?

I guess that all I can do is sit back like a typical white person, dodge the sniper fire and enjoy the fight.
