A John McCain shortcoming

[eddie]

Hey Video:

The party's are allowed to have whatever kind of primary they want in each state. Some are open to members of both parties; while others are not. Some are open to independant voters; while others are not. Now, caucuses are a bit different like the Democrat caucus in Iowa where the citizens actually vote at people's houses. If a candidate gets under 15%, then they are allowed to vote for another candidate in a second round. That's I presume what happened in the Republican primary in West Virginia. McCain's supporters were a distant third and in a second round switched to Huckabee to knock out Romney.

What ethical concerns were there regarding Huckabee as I hold him in high esteem? I was registered in a third party and couldn't vote even though I switched last October back to Republican. The party rules in NY state said the deadline for "change of party" was October 12 but to register from independant to Republican, the deadline was January 11. It's complicated.:icon_confused:

Thx Eddie for explaining all this. It all seems very weird and complicated.

In Belgium we don't have primaries. We vote for a city council or government and everybody that has the Belgian nationality and has become 18 years old can vote here. You can only vote for 1 party but on that listing you can pick multiple candidates. You don't have to be a member of a political party at all and even if you are so, you can still vote for another party.

Now, your question on Huckabee. I like the man very much, he seems very sincere and IMHO he would be a good president. But I read some articles on him where they point out that in the past he has made some very hard statements on gay people and people that are HIV-positive.

Maybe he has toned down a little bit on those issues? But apart from that, the guy is cool.

BTW, Obama is still going very strong! I think Mrs. Clinton doesn't sleep very well!
