Either way, as much as I disagree with McCain, if he wasn't getting coverage by the media like Ron Paul isn't, I would certainly think that was wrong.

Cyfr, this is why I have changed my political registration , the primary system in California is a bit different to other States, here you have to 'register' your political affiliation to be allowed to vote in that parties primary , (similar to only members of the local labour or conservative party being allowed to vote for the selection of a parliamentary candidate ) .
Up to now I have allways been registered as an independant with no party affiliation , this has allowed me to vote in the 'general' elections but not in the primaries , it didn't make much difference since I voted Ralph Nader in the last couple of elections , but this time I have registered Republican just for the oppertunity by voting for Ron Paul to send a message to all the other candidates that I am fed up with the 'status quo' , the guy hasn't got a snowballs chance in hell , but if it wakes other folks up thats all I want .
The idea of the Presidency going to Clinton is totally abhorrent to me ,all it signifys to me is we have 'Royal' families , imagine the following ....
Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Clinton ,Clinton (incumbents rarely get defeated, only one this/last centuary (1900s)was President Carter) that means the Presidency has been held by two families for 28 years ....bit like England in the 14th centuary and the houses of York and Lancaster.
