Wed, 06 Feb 2008 06:42:31 +0000 http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/02/04/get-ready-for-super-tuesday/#comment-1977638 Super Tuesday is done. I don't believe people voting for a war-monger like McCain, when 70% Americans wanted an end to war. Ron Paul is an idealist. He may have a strategy, and probably he'll get to be the King Maker. Unfortunately, most Americans don't read enough to understand what is wrong with the economy. I am a Ron Paul supporter. He has earned respect, and I thank him for making me believe in America again. Barack Obama would be the new President, considering all the support he has. The new President is gonna be a Democrat this time. On the Republican side, I'd support Mitt Romney over Insane McCain anytime (Lesser of the two evils!). Super Tuesday is done.

Does anyone else remember Arrington's petulant declaration (verbatim), "Obama just lost my vote"? All because of a bug on the candidate's site, exactly a year ago. Anyway, I agree with these (reformed) sentiments. Get out and vote. Don't whine about the candidates: if it was that bad, you would have stood for election yourself. Democracy relies on participation. Funny. Does anyone else remember Arrington’s petulant declaration (verbatim), “Obama just lost my vote”?

Mike, nice advice there at the end... the "microbrands" would be awesome. Blogging vs. Traditional media: Blogging, not as a web trend or technology, but as a style of communication and response.. is radical. In both the scientific sense and the 1980's hot-pink gotcha bracelet sense. Blogging drinks traditional media's milkshake. ;) lol @ #9 … there’s a startup for that.. what is it Mike?

And I like the trick: TC is heavy enough to get media coverage, which will make it even heavier. Good move, MA.
