[Dems2008] Re: What Ferraro said

Rob, let's scrub No Child Left Behind (I favor doing so), and let's
scrap any sort of testing in schools. Just ask each student if she
or he thinks there is any plausible principled basis for recognizing
the Florida and Michigan primary votes. If they say 'yes,' give
those folks redundant factory jobs. If they say "no," send those on
to professional schools.

How any person (whoever is his candidate) can plausibly argue that Fl
or Michigan primary votes should be counted is so beyond sensibility
as to be laughable.

Again, political correctness is choking off any real conversation
about the whys and what fors. I just don't understand how completly
intelligent people can drool over Obama. He is a cutie, but come
on, he is no presidential candidate material. He will LOSE! Which
means the entire Democratic party loses. For Gods sake don't send
him to the general election in November. I just don't see what is
the matter with you people. I know, you think the same of us Hillary
supporters. We had better get Fl and MICH votes to count. That
would sure even things up. If you counted those votes there would be
less than 150,000 votes seperating them. It is sooooo close. These
young, nieve college kids are skewing the view here. They don't know
shit. I didn't
