I find it bizarre because it’s silly to think you can make somebody do something that they don’t want to do. Coach Ditka did not want to go into politics. end of story.

I grow weary and bored from the anal exam given to campaign operations and process. The votes by voters are the only thing that matter, and voters have themselves to blame for whom they vote for.

But I am still exploring the notion of what would be the most responsible for a McCain defeat: bad campaign and voter ignorance or a white guilt reckless leap of faith.

I tend toward the latter.

But one thing I am sure of, and that is the total irresponsibility of Democrat caucus and primary voters for foisting such a sorry candidate upon the American people.
