McConnell Obstructionism Continues

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) continues the Republican obstructionism parade.

The nominating process in the 2008 presidential election began in Iowa last week, but the federal government's campaign-finance agency is unable to enforce the spending laws because it doesn't have enough commissioners.

And that is the fault of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., according to Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21, a nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog. [...]

Whether it is right or wrong, the people of the united states will never elect Hillary or Obama. When considering a bid for the white house you have to take into consideration all votes, not just those from your individual party. Yes, the Democrats like Hillary or Obama best, but in the long run only Edwards has a snowball chance in winning the election for the Democrats. Actually, I am pretty sure with the current sentiment toward the Republicans, Mr. Edwards would probably win quite easily. So All you Dems out there give your primary votes for the only guy capabale of winning, and you may find people like me who almost always vote for Republicans voting with you for Edwards on Election Day 2008.
