2008 Democratic Primary

Randy Said:

Who will win the 2008 Montana Democratic presidential primary?

We Answered:

Obama has won every state in the midwestern "plains" states thus far. Therefore, it seems likely that he will win Oregon, Montana, and South Dakota in the upcoming primaries. Clinton, on the other hand, will win West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico.

Mae Said:

What will you remember most about the 2008 Democratic Primary season ?

We Answered:

It's a mixed bag for me, buddy, also. The first thing that sprung to mind was the media distortion. People no longer read and research....they rely on soundbites and peek a boo CNN moments and take that as the gospel....we have become dumber! The media has taken common mudslinging between the candidates and ran it to death, it's become like nails on a chalkboard. The media has chosen who they will give air time to, and who they will discuss; those left out, well, we know what happened to them! The media has resorted to partiality, and editorial segments vs. reporting the facts.

In this new world of technology, people are still people, and we have control of what and how news is reported, frankly, I'm disgusted with how the media has portrayed this election: some get more air time than others, some escape the negativity, some get reputations dragged down unfairly over others....I'm over it.

Of course, we can't overlook the fact we have a history in the making with a female candidate, black (biracial) candidate, and the oldest candidate....

I wish people would be more concerned with educating themselves on the candidates' platform issues vs. media soundbites, bogus affiliations, talltale slip of the tongue, and color of skin....ignorance will be the downfall of this nation.

Vanessa Said:

Was Hillary Clinton just nervous when she cut the cheese during the 2008 democratic primary?

We Answered:

Sort of like when you go to a big wedding, and you're in the wedding party. You hear them begin to play, "Here comes the Bride", and you KNOW you're gonna be stuck there for at least an hour...and you feel the gas coming on. You KNOW you cant hold it that long, so either you've got to go through unspeakable (or unmentionable...either way) gas pain, or you are going to have to let them slip out quietly, one at a time. Do you try and hold it, thereby risking a big old tuba toot? Do you try and let it just squeak out? I don't know about you, but clench control isn't always my strong suit. I mean, it's a real gamble...can never be to sure the smell isn't gonna peal the paint off the inside of the chapel, either! I mean, if the Happy Couple keels over, all bets are off...of course, one could always blame the bridegroom, you know? Bachelor parties are known for their farty foods, so pulling off some keesterly mastery is a real possiblility...sort of like throwing the voice, I would imagine.

Tamara Said:

Is sexism or racism more of a problem in the 2008 democratic primary?

We Answered:

I think sexism has been more of a problem. I think many white men would rather go for a male, regardless of race, than a female. And many black women, would rather go for a black candidate, instead of their own gender.

Natalie Said:

Can Russ Feingold win the 2008 Democratic Primary? The Presidential Election?

We Answered:

Yeah, he's great, I would love for him to be president, but unfortunately it seems to me you need to be a Christian to become president in this screwed up country. I hope not, I hope Feingold could be pres.
Jeff Bingham from NM voted against the war, I think he may be running.

As far as Democrats 'not having their own ideas', I've heard that so much and that is so laughable. Someone like Bill O'Reilly probably said that and now all the Republicans are parroting it (that's ironic - you guys can't think for yourself)! It's rediculous! You can't be a political party without a platform (ideas)! Try healthcare for all - that's not an idea? Of course it's going to seem that way if there's a republican-controlled government. WTF?

Discuss It!
