I voted for Clinton but I voted for Edwards’s delegates.
Should be a lively convention.

How do you do that? is it something different about how elections work in NY or NJ? Here (CA) you just vote for a person, not delegates separately.
I was surprised to see it, I didn’t remember that we had that in New York, and I need to look up how it works at convention time. But you actually vote for five delegates separately from voting for the candidate.
Yeah I just had one button to push. And I went with Obama. It was a hard choice.
Me, too, Roberta. I just about froze in the booth, but I went for Obama and I was sweating when I opened the curtain.
You know, the more I see them, the better I like them both…but I miss my choices of Kucinich and Edwards.
Looks like it’s going to be a brokered convention — Can’t imagine the party going for whichever has a squeaker win
I guess I decided Monday morning, but my heart was still pounding when I pulled the lever and opened the curtain.
It’s a good indecision. Either one will make a good President. I finally decided that Clinton is my Jed Bartlett. And that’s what I want: a Bartlett presidency.
The Missouri ballots had all the old candidates still on them, so I still got to put in a purely ideological vote for Kucinich. I honestly don’t mind either Clinton or Obama and have no real preference for one over the other. ^_^ You’re right, it’s a good indecision. ^_^
My oddest concern about Clinton is how much people hate her. HATE her. Hate the Clintons. And I am tired of living in a country where the president is so hated by so many. I am tired of how divided we are. Even though this time I will be on the side of not hating, it’s still an ugly condition.
Dawa, the candidates have to submit a notarized request to be removed from the ballot. Sometimes they don’t. I could have voted for Edwards or Kucinich, but it didn’t feel right.
It’s a valid consideration, Roberta.
My oddest concern about Clinton is how much people hate her. HATE her.
She’s strong-willed, calculating and intelligent, but not a lesbian. She dresses conservatively, but not like a grandmother. She’s elegant, but not overstately so. She’s part of a nuclear family, but doesn’t fall into the “doting wife/mother” archetype. She’s a successful female politician, but she’s not ugly.
So people hate her, because she hasn’t provided a category by which to define her. No stereotypical category = “we should probably hate her. Just to be safe.”
I had already decided that Obama was the better of the two and since she was polling (and indeed got more) ahead in CA, I voted for him.
Then in LJ a friend of mine linked to an article that partly explains why I like him better. He’s NOT a BOOMER. Sure some idjit’s insist on lumping people born in the early 60s in with boomers, but wer’re not.
It’s time for the boomers to get out of the way already. It was analyzing the culture war stuff that Bush and the Clinton’s are part of as fall out from boomers and Vietnam and all that.
