OK, I'm going to don my liberal, elitist garb now.

Winston Churchill once said, "the best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with an average voter."

Even our own founding fathers, whom I revere, had little faith in the common man. That's why they set up the Electoral College, and why Senators were elected by state legislatures, not the voters, until 1913. I guess they were liberal elitists too.

Nothing screams the veracity of this like the current election cycle.

According to the latest AP/Yahoo poll, Obama is having trouble winning over Hillary Clinton supporters. Only 58% of her supporters say they will vote for him. That is exactly where it stood when Hillary bowed out of the campaign.

These people are willing to let John McCain win this election, either out of spite, or because McCain chose a woman as his running mate. Never mind the fact that McCain is part of the machine that has driven this country into the ground. Never mind that Palin is diametrically opposed to everything their beloved Hillary believes in. Never mind that there is little difference between Obama and Clinton on issues. They didn't get their way, so they're going to take their toys and go home.

Unbelievable. No wonder the United States is the laughing stock of the world.
