So what does this mean? it means that (a) people may be too stupid to realize that their voting for people who are no longer running....but more likely its (b) people don't like EITHER candidate.
Hey I'm all for (b)....I plan on doing a write in for Thompson myself.
Actually we will have to see what becomes of the whole 'birth place' controversy surrounding McCain. I did a little research and it is conveluted enough to where the Republican convention could be thrown for a wild loop and we may get a candidate that no one counted on....one that would polarize the field....one that no matter who the Democratic candidate is, they won't be prepared for....but one with lots of controversy behind his name-though nothing that would prevent him from serving.
Someone like....Newt Gingrich [excuse me, a chill of horror just went down my spine]
