So, how many people are concerned about the SCOTUS decision upholding photo ids to vote in Indiana?

And of those concerned, how many still feel it's more important to "send a message" by not voting for the Democratic candidate than it is to put the Democratic party in a position where we can name future justices to the Supreme Court?

There is a hell of a lot more riding on this election than my candidate or your candidate. We have an opportunity here to control the White House, the Senate and the Congress, yet people still feel they would rather give up that opportunity to make real changes than vote for the "other" candidate.

I voted for Obama Saturday. But I will vote for Hillary or Obama in the general election. There's too much riding on the outcome to let the GOP have the White House.

2. I agree with you on all counts! I believe your hearing talk about

not voting or voting for McNuts now because people's emotions are running very high...in both camps, but I think things will dramatically change by November.

To ME, the MOST IMPORTANT issue in this GE is who will nominate the (Most likely) THREE justices! That's the one single thing that whill affect all of our lives for decades to come!

3. That SCOTUS decision has freaked me out. The next thing you know they'll bring back the poll tax.

Our party will have to run strong campaigns against repukes in state lege races so that the freepers can't hijack the vote via "restrictions" that end up hurting Dems.

And yes, I am appalled that anyone calling themselves a Democrat would consider not voting for president this year. What possible good can come of that?

4. It's bad. I'm in Georgia and we have a voter id law, too. It doesn't affect

my vote, but no doubt, it assures that GA will stay a red state for a long, long time. As will Indiana, I am sure.

5. The Supreme Court is paving the way for the 2008 presidential election to be stolen.

Where have our "leaders," including Clinton and Obmama, been on this issue, especially since retaking Congress in 2006?

Maybe three is a charm, but I fear after three stolen presidential elections and a shredded Constitution and Bill of Rights, 2012 will be too late.

6. The truth about Clinton appointees .......

They NY Times magazine wrote a great article in March about SCOTUS appointments, and they pointed out that Bill Clinton's appointees are only liberal enough as to not make people believe that they are not conservative. Breyer and Ginsberg have both ruled against unions, workers rights, and host of other progressive issues.
