I can't help but wonder just how many other voters are still undecided about who they will vote for in California's upcoming Primary Election in two weeks.
I've been closely watching all the Presidential Debates, as well as as many speeches by candidates of every party that I can find.
All of the original Democratic Candidates remain on our California ballot even though some have already dropped out of the race.
SAD BUT TRUE
Many of our choices have already been made for us. These choices are not really made by the voter, but instead by those who control our media. Even though, by law, they do not own our airways.
We hear about Clinton, Edwards and Obama, but little is said on the air about the others. Two other Democratic Candidates are still in the race, but they get little mention. Mike Gravel and Dennis Kusinich are still campaining even though both and are generally excluded from any of the national forums and receive little coverage.
On Saturday, someone at the parade asked me who I thought i would vote for in the upcoming primary. I replied that I was leaning toward Clinton. Tonight, l CNN broadcast their Democratic debate completely excluding the two other contenders. Of the three that were there, I am leaning toward Edwards.
Joe Biden and Chris Dodd dropped out after the Iowa Caucuses held on January 3rd. Bill Richardson dropped out on January 10th after the New Hampshire Primary held on February 5th. .
I have already begun to receive the bigoted hate e-mail directed at one or the other of the Democratic Candidates.
As usual, I have been both shocked and appalled by the judgment of those who will actually forward on this awful stuff. And, as usual, I find it too hard to let such bigotry pass without comment even though I know that by doing this, I can risk a friendship when I actually tell the person what I think about the hate they are complicit in spreading.
I've been closely watching all the Presidential Debates, as well as as many speeches by candidates of every party that I can find. I am not sure who I will vote for in the election. But I do know that I will vote against all the hatred ...and of course will I will vote Democratic.
So I guess you might call me an undecided voter. And, if at this late date, I am still undecided, there must be many others.
