That is the problem with government today, too much power and the people only get part of the story. Earmarks of 300M+ for New York by Clinton, 90M by Obama, McCain claims not to have taken any (though I find this hard to believe).
Sadly it will always be "the best worst candidate". Those who play by the letter of the law ethically can not make it in our system. The media chooses who you are allowed to select from and then narrows that down based on public sentiment, business interests and favored opinion. IMO that is why the media is so screwed up by the Obama camp. They were die hard in favor of Clinton leading the DNC charge and when this was unfounded, they had to re-structure their spin.
On the side, the DNC said that Michigan and Florida primaries/delegates would not count because both states broke DNC rules. Fine. Problem here is Clintons name still appeared on the Michigan ballot, minus Obama. So of course Clinton 'won'..at least in theory..Michigan as well as Florida. Now that the race is tight, Clinton is leading the charge to have their delegates now count. Shocker. Everybody apparently cheats, that is sad.
Rant: Lets unload the electoral college already. This made sense in the 1800s it is now time to go solely with a popular vote IMO. Also, super delegate..remove that whole concept. I can't think of a single item more focused on deception and corruption then a super delegate. An individual that can determine and out come of a state with their votes based on EXCESSIVE lobbying. How did super delegates get established and why do we have it. Also in "Wagner-World" you would be tested before being certified to vote. You must understand the process and outcomes. This would stop bs pandering and then force an educated voter to not take the candidate only on face value.
