That would suggest that both parties want to actively court independents and undecideds. I see Obama better able to bring in new voters and with the Kennedys endorsing him and him beating out the Clintons, I can't help but see him better able to brng out the base, too.<BR/><BR/>Normally, I'd be for smashing the 2-party system, but after 8 years of Bush-Cheney misrule I'm in the mood for the Democrats to get their chance to ruin the country before taking it down.The Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23061971.post-61537482230534130022008-01-28T10:10:00.000-05:002008-01-28T10:10:00.000-05:00Also, I suspect that Giuliani is a better choice t...Also, I suspect that Giuliani is a better choice than McCain. The latter is all over the map on some issues (e.g., taxes) and just hates liberty in other cases (e.g., a peacetime draft and the First Amendment). <BR/><BR/>In addition, he's drawn to disgusting attacks on the cigarette industry, is a cheerleader for the war, and opposes gay marriage and abortion. <BR/><BR/>He is thus the classic communitarian. He hates liberty and is for massive government taxes and spending. Giuliani, who is no fan of liberty, is still much better.The Objectivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416501145750028695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23061971.post-6858099360910044272008-01-28T10:06:00.000-05:002008-01-28T10:06:00.000-05:00I'm for just about anything that breaks up the con...I'm for just about anything that breaks up the control by the two parties. I think competition for combinations of candidates would force these guys to fight for ideas rather than running on identity politics and their resume, rather than their ideas.The Objectivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416501145750028695noreply@blogger.com
