    We saw mass media and the Dems pull the same thing in 2004. Decide a candidate is unelectable, before the election, and then make it happen. What happened to letting the voters decide? What happened to democracy? Meh.

    It was sick then, and it is sick now. If the man is too old, OK, but we all knew his age a year ago. To pretend to be surprised and concerned now is laughable.

      What happened to letting the voters decide?

      “Everyone needs to get out and vote!”

      voters start bickering over who to vote for

      “NOT LIKE THAT!”

      If the man is too old, OK, but we all knew his age a year ago.

      Which is why its crazy he didn’t have any kind of primary contender. Hell, its crazy he didn’t just wrap this at one term and pass the torch to any of a number of popular and highly competent governors.
