I am so utterly sick of this Third Way shit.

232. I hear what you're saying, Manny. Here's something that's been bothering me for a long time...

In the Primary this past spring, there were 3070 Democratic ballots cast in my county. Of that number, there were 513 undervotes in the Obama category. That is, 513 people chose not to even bubble-in his name. Democrats, that is.

That may not be at all statistically significant (about 17% of Dem ballots cast) and DUers can probably come up with a multitude of reasons, running from the plausible to the absurd, for that.

I think a lot of people have serious reservations about Obama and if they can't process those feelings they're going to fester and, just like "family secrets", eventually destroy the whole system from within.

Some on DU are desperately looking for reasons to vote for Obama. Others deny there's any problem at all. The latter is unproductive, IMO.
