In recent conversations, I mentioned my beliefs regarding the upcoming Democratic choice of a Presidential candidate.
For those of you who have not read my thoughts on this before my main thought is that we Democrats must choose a mainstream white bread candidate: a photogenic male, not too liberal, married, with (preferably) young children that will appeal to the mainstream voter who really is not too attune to politics.
One of the people I was talking about this to said that this was rather mercenary and somewhat appeasing the voters instead of choosing who we really wanted to be elected. I totally agree with him – and – I think I am totally right. Demographics and the Electoral College tells us that we dare not take too many chances. That means appeasing those voters who “blow with the wind”. Those are the voters who will vote based upon image rather than substance. We are poised to take this idiot down but because of the built-in Electoral College strongholds he enjoys, we must get any stray voter, thinking or not, that we can. The core Democratic voter will pretty much vote for any of the candidates that have announced so far as none of them seem to be certifiably insane. Therefore, the goal must be to get the people in the key states that voted for the POS last time that are willing to vote for a Democrat as long as he is not too far out there. And yes, I said he on purpose. This is not a time to make waves. This is a time to get that POS out of the White House while we still have a country.
That is why I still stick by my belief that we need to not choose the best Democrat but instead to choose the candidate that can take the most votes in the general election.
That brings me to a second point that occurred in the same conversation. I made it clear that I specifically meant that Bernie Sanders was not really a good choice regardless of how he fared in the Democratic Primaries. Simply stated I said that those fence sitters were not ready to vote for a candidate that openly avowed an allegiance to a political philosophy (Socialism) that has been an anathema for so long in America. I got a lot of pushback on this from Bernie supporters, understandably, but once again, I feel that anyone taking that kind of baggage into the general election is a risk not worth taking and I have yet to see any reason to change my mind. And in the case of Bernie, he chooses to be a Socialist when it suits him and a Democrat when it suits him which will further allow for attack ads during any general election, further making his candidacy a sketchy situation.
So white bread for all.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
