Sorry, this post should have come on Tuesday, but I've been a bit lazy this week. On Tuesday I was watching a few moments of CNN before the primary results for Michigan started. They were talking with democrats voting in the primary. Apparently Michigan has open primaries where you don't have to vote party lines. The democrats they were talking to said they were voting for Santorum, because they thought Obama had a better chance of beating Santorum than Romney. I know this is an old trick, I've seen it in California in Governor races etc. Vote for the weaker opponent in the primary, so you can beat them easily in the fall.
Now call me naive, but to me that is like a vote of no confidence in your own candidate. It's like saying, "We aren't sure our guy is the best, so let's make sure we get the weakest opponent." This then ties into the election ads where you point out all the bad things about the other guy rather than saying anything good about what your guy is going to do. I don't quite get politics, I'm sorry, but tell me why your the best guy for the job, not why the other guy is worst.
Well, a few more months of this....okay over half a year really. I'll try to survive...thank God Tivo will let me skip most of the ads!!
