Lawdog, it's called the primaries. People actually have a choice on the Republican side, all of the candidates haven't quit yet. Quite a bit different from the mind numbed robots of the left who have anoited their next King.

Let's examine which party is more tolerant of differing views...

What do you figure the chances are of Gore selecting a pro-life running mate? Do you think the politburo would allow that much diversity within it's ranks?

Not a chance, and whether you want to believe it or not. There are plenty of pro-life Democrats out there. But they must be silent and support the party line.

<<McCain gets 22 percent of the Illinois vote. He's not even a candidate anymore? Could it be a protest vote against Bush? >>

Yep, by union people who usually vote in the democratic primary.

Wow! Is that all? I fully expected McCain to do better since there's no motivation for Bush supporters to go to the polls since the nomination is already a lock.

btw, ABCNews pulled the primary vote apart and found that McCain attracted relatively few new voters. Among "new" voters, 55% went to McCain and 45% went for Bush. Both represent little more than a million+ each.
