I’m no politician but…

when I read an article about Democratic presidential candidates sparring over $2300 contributions, there’s no wonder why George W. Bush ends up being elected!

These are members of the same party – mind you.  Granted Republicans may engage in similar battles during the primaries, we’re seeing minority representatives making intra-party accusations against one another.  What I expect this to do is weaken the Democratic party altogether and cause some voters to rather *not* vote for the ultimate Democratic winner than submit a vote for the Democratic candidate.  My belief is that within the Republican party, once the primaries are over, everybody kisses, makes up, and join forces to defeat the Democrats.  I believe this is what we saw with George Bush and John McCain (although I can’t remember when).  Republican voters that were John McCain folks saw that he lost but then decided to stay within party lines and vote generally Republican (Bush).

Democrats on the other hand end up becoming so passionate about their presidential hopeful that they become sore losers and would rather sulk.  (I wonder how many Howard Dean aficianados ended up voting for Kerry in the last election.)  Luckily the Democratic party is balanced out by sheer numbers.
