Letdown

Ohio let us down last night. I must admit I am shocked Clinton won the state. This area is much more Obama than Clinton. Obama has already filed a suit with the courts in 2 counties because many of his supporters weren't able to vote because there simply weren't enough ballots. How stupid is that?? I realize that both texas and ohio had 3x the amount of voters they usually do in a primary, but not printing enough ballots?? People were really irritated they waited in lines for up to 2 hrs for them to find out there weren't ballots. Then they still had to wait for everyone to actually vote once more ballots came. Hillary is countering saying she should do something also because southeast Ohio was flooded and many of her voters were unable to get to the polls.

Honestly, this whole process makes me ill. Many people here in our neighborhood hate McCain so much they voted for Clinton just to mess with the whole process. Apparently it worked. No one seems to know what to do -- especially when McCain is the best the republican party can come up with. At least "Shmuckabee" finally saw the light and dropped out.

How can one candidate complain about a lack of ballots?

How can one candidate complain about flooding?

Don't both problems affect both candidates and all voters?

That's the point! It's all retarded. No one wins either way. They're both just looking for something to complain about.

I, too, am sick to death of this campaign. I watch it all the time and I'm not quite sure I know why. I told Jim yesterday that if Clinton wins as President I would move out of the country.
I hate McCain. I think this will be the first time in my life that I will refuse to vote for a President of the United States unless I write in one of you.

There is a bad situation coming up this year. But, we must always do what seems to be the best with what we have. I will vote for McCain, but I do not like him. Obama would be a terrible problem for everyone. He is considered to be the most liberal senator in the US legislature. Clinton is so willfull and liberal that she will do what ever she wants without any consessions to any public opinion. It is a bad situation. At least it will be interesting to watch.
