You're right, Hatch is nasty. I didn't like him a bit, but saw a vote for Hutchinson as a non-factor. It wasn't worth the possibility of Pawlenty, though in the end it didn't matter. Wetterling didn't do anything for me (not that I could've voted for her anyway) and Rowley could have had a lot going for her, but she never said anything substantive.<BR/><BR/>I'm with you on the 2004 malaise. My faith in humanity went from zero into negative numbers when I realized that millions of people thought Dubya had done an acceptable job for four years.<BR/><BR/>Hillary can't get the nomination for 2008. The Democrats can't be that stupid (crossing fingers). Conservatives want her dead, moderates won't vote for her, and even some liberals hate her. They'd be better off with an Edwards/Obama ticket, or something like that. No more Kerry/Gore/Lieberman nonsense. I'd have voted for McCain over Gore, and I was stunned when Dubya got the nod in 2000. Even then it was clear he was unsuited.<BR/><BR/>Well, I'm sure the lull we have now won't last long.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10417487829318519262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34420238.post-1162998269081561952006-11-08T09:04:00.000-06:002006-11-08T09:04:00.000-06:00I can't think of a better way to describe Michelle...I can't think of a better way to describe Michelle Bachman than "pure evil". I had chosen "Fascist Bitch" but I don't think it's fair to the the Fascists (though the bitches are well represented in my eyes). I suppose its bad enough that we have to be represented by John Kline in the 2nd (though I can't say that I found Colleen Rowley a compelling choice) but at least we don't live in the 6th (although I guess that would have given me a chance to vote in futility for Wetterling).<BR/><BR/>At least I don't have to be totally depressed this year, like after the 2004 election when I was down for days at the prospect of 4 more years of Dubya. Half way through that and only a couple of thousand lives in our wake. ;-( These next two more years ought be a bit more palettable with a lot of people turning on "The Decider". And although I don't agree with his politics, Pawlenty now works with an overwhelming Democratic majority in both state houses and doesn't have his assinine "no new taxes, lets call it a fee" thing going this time. I'm not a huge fan Pawlenty, but I couldn't bring myself to vote for Hatch (that guy has been a slime ball for years), so Peter Hutchinson was my man, with no apologies.<BR/><BR/>I would say that I am looking forward to 2008, but I think if the Dems put up Hillary against McCain, she is going to get her ass kicked. She is unelectable in large expanses of the country, and I don't think you can say the same for McCain (who is largely moderate). We shall see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
