SouthAmerica: Reply to DoDoDoDoDo
I know this is not Brazil â in Brazil we have real democracy with 15 major parties - compare that with the United States where we have only the two wings of the same bird.
You call this democracy?
How many states still have not had their primaries?
And what kind of choice is left for millions of Americans who had not the chance to vote on primaries up to this point?
To be really politically correct the United States needs to come up with another description for its political system instead of democracy.
What kind of democratic system makes it almost impossible for most people to run for office?
Just ask Ralph Nader how the entire system is loaded and designed to prevent people to get their names on the ballots of major national elections.
This democracy is so pathetic that two states get disqualified just because they moved their primaries up to have a choice of more candidates. The gatekeepers of this wherever system that we have in the United States took away the right to vote in the primaries from people in Florida, and in another state. (basically, an election system not much different than in Fidel Castroâs Cuba, or in Saddam Husseinâs Iraq â if you want to know how corrupt the election system has been in the US for many years - all you have to do is ask Al Gore.)

No Obama canât pick Al Gore for VP.
If Al Gore had been in the presidential race â he would have wrapped up the nomination by now.
Anyway, millions of Al Gore supporters are just waiting for him to jump into the presidential race. And I am glad that I am not the only one who still hoping that Al Gore will be the nominee of the Democratic Party for the November 2008 election.
All the Al Gore supporters should be patient and wait for the right time, eventually common sense it will prevail; and Al Gore will win the race in November 2008 with a solid mandate.
Al Gore already has the practical experience, because he was part of the team of the Clinton administration - that administration created over 22 million jobs in the US economy during their 8-year term.
Al Gore understands better than anyone else how the global economy works today. The latest issue of the magazine "Fast Company" lists the 50 companies that are in the leading edge of innovation - and Al Gore's company Current TV was among these state-of-the-art innovative companies.
Al Gore understands how the world of tomorrow works.
