40. I've been "bashing" caucuses for years
Edited on Thu Jun-12-08 02:39 PM by depakid
Because they're anti-democratic processes that at best should be reserved for vanity purposes.

Has nothing whatsoever to do with Hillary (or any other candidate over the past 28 years).

Seems to me that one might look at this objectively and in the abstract as opposed to tainting the issue with partisanship.

btw: aversion to public transportation is a a weird deal Washingtonians have. Clark county voted down a light rail extension over the I-5 bridge (that included tons of federal money) in 1996. Pissed PLENTY of Portlanders off, including yours truly who lived on Hayden Island at the time.

Ever now at public hearings, Vancouverites are STILL lining up in droves, making irrational arguments about "keeping Portland out," while the traffic over the bridge grows ever more appalling and petrol prices rise to $5.00 per gallon.

Frankly, it doesn't make any sense to me.
