As someone who has studied the positions of the candidates and has known for months who I plan to vote for in Feb. I find it a little bit annoying that these people<\/a> have decided who I can vote for in my primary:<\/p>\n

\u201cI made the decision about five minutes ago; I\u2018ve been thinking about it for four months,\u201d said one man in this upper-middle-class community in the WildeWood and Polo Road precincts. \u201cI was going to go with Romney, but decided it was McCain\u2019s time. I just think he\u2019s the strongest Republican candidate to beat the Democrats. His age concerns me a bit, but, in the end, I just thought he was the best one.\u201d
\n\u201cI decided in the past week,\u201d said one woman who said she voted for Huckabee. \u201cI have tremendous respect for him because of his Christian faith. I just feel like I know who he is.\u201d Another woman, whose husband broke for McCain, echoed those sentiments. \u201cHe seemed the most consistent,\u201d she said, but added, \u201cAnd I am a Christian — that was a factor to some degree.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice that the reason has nothing to do with the issues but electability and identity politics. Disgraceful!
\nThese early primary states have shown that they don’t know what they’re doing and aren’t as politically savvy as they think they are. I say we take away their status and give it to some other state but I can’t think of a state that’s conservative enough to give it to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
