8. What primary?
Edited on Mon Dec-18-06 05:47 PM by longship
Haven't we just had a national election? I don't know of any primaries on the schedule. So it is utterly meaningless to be discussing primaries which are well over a year from now.

If you are talking about presidential primaries, I'd say that you are jumping the shark. Nobody even knows who's running and isn't running. We're not likely to know anything definitive one way or another until close to the end of next year. So, relax. Have a nice glass of wine, or a cup of cocoa. Read a good book. Go out on a date with your SO.

Or, if you have to do something political, how about helping mount an effort to bring the new Congress in line so that the war in Iraq can end, health care can be made available to everybody, taxation policy won't favor the wealthy, people can again have a living wage, elections can be honest, campaigns and congress critters will no longer go to the highest corporate bidder, etc.

But thanks for caring, anyway. Ask me again about the primary thing in early June, 2008. I'll know enough then to give you an answer.
