Reply #93: There are a number of ways to look at this...

The first way is the disturbing way. Yes, it kind of bothers me, too (and no, I'm not committed to a candidate yet).

BUT...what about taking a different tack with it? What if those "non-transferable kids" make their issues non-transferable? What if they take their gripes and grouses and concerns and hopes to the person who actually takes the nomination and makes him/her listen? What if these newly-fledged voters coalesce into a legitimate voting bloc? I think that would be a good thing.

Aside...the remark also goes to the political naivete of people who are new to politics. Nobody wants to believe its as whorish a game as it truly is. The scales eventually fall from everyone's eyes.
