one of the few so-called Democrats who tried to ban birth control coverage by insurance companies

As far as I am concerned they both are bad, and I am tired of making compromises with the devil, as joe LIEberman showed us what that gets

Sometimes it is better to vote on principle or none of the above

I'm fed up with having to choose between lesser and greater evils. But come November that will unfortunately be our choice. If I can't eliminate evil then I'll at least try to reduce it as much as I can. Refusing to do that is tantamount to choosing the greater evil.

Since I had no idea who he was, I voted Casey----even though I have been less than happy with some of his positions. Glad I did. How the hell did this guy even get on the Dem ticket??? And why??? (Well, don't answer why, since I am sure he is betting on voter ignorance.)

21% of the vote is in and Vodvarka has over 13%. There's no danger of him winning but I'm kind of shocked that he's doing as well as he is. I never even heard of him before today.

The springs he's talking about making in your link, those are for M 16s. He's a tea party whack job.

Casey's no bargain, but sweet mother of mercy.
