me too.

I do think she'd be a good administrator. I just don't like her corporate and financial ties. I think she'd be a big business democrat and I don't think big business needs any more help at the moment. But when push comes to shove, I'll have to vote for her.

There's really a paucity of decent candidates in either party. It's demoralizing.

50/50 on voting for Hillary or voting Green/Socialist. Hillary's politics are exactly in line what most Washington State voters want so she'll win here easily.

This kind of attitude gave us the George W. Bush Presidency. I know that Washington isn't a swing state, so do what you want. I just hope Floridians and Ohioans don't behave similarly.

Youseff is a one party man, SK has nullified his vote (thus explaining the 47-42 type breakdown), but I vote split ticket/best athlete. Nothing is terribly exciting over on the Elephant side, but I am not fond of Hillery either.

As for other democrats, O'Mally is a joke. Sander's is such a no name at the moment (sorry SC) that I did not realize he is actually running. Webb might run as sort of an anti-Regan flip-flopper, but I am not sure his record says that he is a front office man. Its pretty depressingly shallow crop there too.

Maybe we do need like 60 contenders at this stage of things to find someone worthy of my vote.

She looks like a real live person in that second picture. Like someone you would have a cup of coffee with and find it only moderately tedious and only slightly uncomfortable.

Didn't read it but ok.

A quick glance shows that the two pieces are written by different authors interpreting the data differently. Like how we did too, despite posting on the same website and everything.

It's primary election day here in the great Garden State. Just got back from voting. I was the 12th Republican to vote at my precinct. Zero (0) Democrats have voted as of 2:45 PM.

No competitive primaries on either side, but still.

Also the Dems haven't even fielded Assembly candidates in my district, even though Obama carried it by 7% in 2012. Not exactly Utah here.

Well, it's up to her team to make sure that doesn't happen.

@RepPeteKing: Today's Senate NSA vote is a victory for America, for freedom over ignorance and defeat for ISIS, Edward Snowden & Rand Paul

What an idiot. It amazes me that this clown continually gets elected to Congress.
