I remember my anger during the whole Bush-Gore hanging chad scandel.  Those were difficult days and it was hard to control my anger and disapointment when the Supreme Court of the United States stopped the counting of votes in Florida.  It was a difficult time.  I feel that anger again.

This country for so long has struggled to engage its people in the electoral process.  How many elections did we see in the last twenty years where just a small portion of our people came out to vote?  Finally, in this Democratic Primary people are excited.  They aren't just excited about one candidate, they are excited about both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.  Isn't that a good thing?  Why is there a rush to end the excitement, to stop the process, to leave some people out? 

It appears the mainstream media would much rather see an Obama vs. McCain battle come November, but it shouldn't be the media who decides this thing.  It should be the people.  Hey, I expect that if the process is seen as fair then in the end everyone makes peace and things go on their usual course.  However, if the process is seen as unfair, I just don't see how that helps anyone.  Angry people do stupid things,  like stay home, or vote against their own interests.  This thing needs to play itself out. 

Reality television is all the rage right now, and this is reality television at its  best!  Barack Obama representing something different to his supporters, and Hillary Clinton representing, ironically, the underdog fighting against the tide.  Everybody loves a good ending.  There is only one good ending, counting all the votes and seeing who wins.  After all, that's the American way!
