Bad? Brilliant?

I live in Utah, a state where being a member of the prominate religion with a party affiliation. The Mormon Church has come out with a statement that members should vote their conscience rather than along certain party lines. And although voting for a Democrat used to be a "sin" you should probably confess to your bishop, more and more people are starting to vote Democrat.

It's a good thing Clinton stayed in the race until the end. She has kept the nomination in front and center of the American viewing audience, and caused people to really think about the issues.

I plan to participate in the party building effort because a democracy requires a two party system. Even the most conservative voters are starting to worry about Bush, McCain. It's a good thing for Utah.

Now there are two of us Obama supporters who want the race to continue to the end.

It is good for our party and for democracy and for the economics of the people in these remaining states.

I say buck up folks. This is America.

by the way your state is in better shape than mine.

Texas is so red that it probably glows in the dark.

BUT while it is not likely to carry the Democratic nominee in the fall, I do have hopes of getting a Democratic Senator Noeriega to replace Cornyn.

Cornyn is the second worst Senator in the US senate. Who is the worst? Mitch McConnell.

Please Democrats--even in other states. Help us to retire these ugly Elephants.
