It’s Finally Here - And I don’t have time.
Well finally, it’s here. The day AFTER the primary elections. But I don’t have much time to discuss it. I have a funeral to attend today. It’s one of those things where they do it all in one day. Family at 11:00, friends at noon, service at 1:00 then 30 miles at slow speed to the cemetary. I’m family. I have to be there. I also have to be in Dunbar at 9:30 this morning, so I have a lot of gas to burn.
The people of West Virginia have spoken. They want Hillary and McCain. We’ve been called ‘uneducated’, low income, old and white. The Governor was offended by it. [I couldn't find a quote, but I saw him comment during the morning news on WCHS TV8.] But, people, it’s a fact. Run the numbers. WV has some of the highest levels of illiteracy, unemployment, underemployement and diverstity in the country. Suck it up!
Now, McCain. I guess I have to accept it. A full 75% of Republicans voting in the primary voted for McCain. That hurts. I was hoping to be able to point to a majority of Republicans voting for someone else, but even I have to accept that 25% isn’t the majority. But I still don’t like him. I still can’t support him.
Obama, well he’s a snob. Yes I know. That’s name calling. But that’s me today, well this morning. I’ll get past it
I was surprized that Spike Maynard went down. I have several friends who think he’s pretty good. I don’t know him myself. Other than that, I wan’t that impressed.
Time to run.

Maybe most who voted for McCain knew the rest of the people on the ballot (except that annoying Ron Paul) have dropped out, and they felt they had to vote for someone.
I chose not to cast a vote for any of them.
I would have written in Fred Thompson but there’s no write in spaces on Kanahwa Co’s annoying scantron ballot.
