Reply #4: Then again

I have been sort of on the outs with the Democratic Party since Deanie lost the nomination. In 2008 I backed Hillary, and I wasn't happy with the way she was treated by the media during the primaries. She deserved the nomination and there was a lot of slime hurled at the Clintons back then. In the end I voted for Obama, but only because John McCain is a senile old coot and I didn't want to see his face on television every day for the next four years. To be honest, I never really disliked Sarah Palin as much as a lot of my friends did. I mean, she's fun to watch, but I didn't really see what everybody's big problem with her was. I just don't get the "dangerous" vibe from her that everybody else seems to get. Then again, I have kind of mellowed out politically in the last few years. I'm less likely to get all worked up over some stuff that would send me into hysterics 8 years ago.

That being said, I don't think it would be unhealthy for the Democratic Party to hold a primary. The Republicans are getting lots of time to get their message out because they have like 10 candidates. We have one. Lets have a debate. Why not? If Obama wins the day, so be it. If someone else wins the day, so be it, but we really SHOULD have the debate.
