Jan 14

Today’s most interesting post was from “The Daily Kos.” Kos claims that Clinton, Obama, and even Edwards have double digit leads over all other Republican candidates; except for McCain who has a close 48% vote (compared to 50%). Kos later claims that McCain is the best choice, saying “Anything to stop the McCain boomlet this early on will be good for us.” I find that particular quote quite interesting, considering that in the conservative blog yesterday, the blogger claimed that McCain’s campaign was over months ago. Kos says that for some reason, people are still falling for McCain’s “straight talk bullshit.”

But more close to home is the Mitt for Michigan campaign. In this particular effort by democrats, they plan to swap sides and vote for Romney. With democrats voting for Romney, they hope to nominate a candidate that they can beat; “because the GOP deserves the very worst.” Although this strategy makes sense, it seems to be quite underhanded. Kos even praises the effort because it will give the least popular Republican a tainted victory, and because it will cause even more confusion. He now hopes not only to ruin Romney’s chances for president, but also he wants to harm the candidate personally.

More fighting between parties... surprise!

Sometimes I wish we had listened to George Washington's warning against forming political parties in his farewell address. What would it be like?
