ironglow, I would be very inclined to vote for condi rice or col.west that was mentioned in one other post and did not rail against either that I remember. I also think that LA's governor would be a viable candidate. The last two elections, yep, I figure I could do as good a job as the latest examples. For sure I would be more Honorable to the oath than those who recite their oath as a secret password to gain entrance into an exclusive club. The next better be special, or the pole takers will have to say "Ol' Pat/Rick is crazy enough to run too." NO vote is wasted. But if it mattered would they let us do it? Wasn't it stalin who said "the people voting do not decide the election, the people counting the votes do". Elections can be bought with good advertisement (the last).
I think it time to take the electoral vote away from the states and give EACH county, of each state, one electoral vote.
All in all, I do believe that our way is predestined, our course already plotted.No candidate will return America to its Constitutional roots. We are to suffer the same fate as Babel,Sodom,Gemorrah, and the roman empire. We will fall before we are reborn. We are on that path. Again, just the view from my window.
If given a good candidate, I'll vote for him or her. Sex or color doesn't matter to me. The welfare of my nation? Everything.
