I would have to disagree with your initial assertion, that liberals love to loose, and think when they win the "game" as finally "fair." I'm a recovering liberal, and live in NY, surrounded by those still afflicted with the disease. They are absolutely tickled pink to win, even if its obviously out right cheating on their part.

Every campaign, at every level of government, I love to watch to see who gets caught cheating at what. And time after time after time, it's democrats by a very wide margin. As a matter of fact, I can't remember the last time a republican group got caught doing anything major. Yet, every time, I hear the same old tired accusations, over and over.

Allow me to sum up with a wonderful example. My knuckle-headed brother tells me he'd love to see Elliot Spitzer back as governor of NY. I asked him what he thought about all the other accusations against him such as using the NY State Police as his own personal CIA. He said he didn't care in the least. When conservatives get the shaft, modern liberals love it, no matter the circumstances.

Good article Cam. Yeah, this syndrome happens all the time. Everyone warned that if Obama lost it would only PROVE how racist Americans are…bracing for that possible upset.

I don't vote for American Idol and didn't have a strong preference most cycles. I do enjoy the show and was a little surprised at Kris winning because I simply hadn't remembered him from casual viewing and did remember Adam's performances. But from what I can tell, the tween girl population was solidly behind Kris Allen and that's usually the crowd that provides the biggest pop (except inexplicably when dude who got dropped from the label beat McPhee which just proves that the winners aren't always the best singers).

Enjoyed the read though.

I despise the term "homophobe' and "homophobia." It's the pathetic catch-all excuse for people to excuse horrible behavior. I know of one adult woman who was acting sexual with 15-16 year old girls on a public image board, and they will conjure that word up at the drop of a hat if they don't like an adult asking or teasing two 15 year old girls to have sex with her.

I know of another imbecile who openly watches a japanese cartoon that depicts children in sexual situations, and on their blog they hate "homophobes," while giving visitors a link to Wikipedia so they can gather interest in this disgusting video.

It's basically meant to make their intellectual opposition seem inhuman and therefore their beliefs are to be dismissed as such that of bigoted cretins. If that doesn't cause someone to back down, go for the racist charge.

Adam-I am a (67 female) conservative who voted for you. I saw a picture of you on the internet kissing a guy. So what. I still liked you & your singing. I voted for you the week you ended up in the bottom 2. I didn't have a problem, the line was open & I just kept hitting redial. A week prior I tried voting for Allison on all lines & never could get through.She was eliminated. I never cared if Kris was eliminated. I was never drawn to his singing. However, a couple of weeks ago on Mike Huckabee's show on FOX he said he & his family were voting for Kris because he's from Arkansas. And then when you 3 went home & I saw the turnout for Kris, it was overwhelming! It made you think of when Carrie Underwood won when everyone thought it was going to be Bo Bice. Or when Taylor Hicks won when everyone thought Katherine McPherson was going to when. I think you were so gracious, class act ,as was Kris. Wishing you great success.

I think that Adam is a great singer. But the rest of his performances each week, the affectation and the ridiculously fake posturing, really turned me off. He never once came across as a genuine "rocker," but rather somebody who wasn't rock at all trying his hardest to look like he was. The eyeliner, the nailpolish, even his Pete Wentz haircut, was stupid, like he was trying really hard to come across as an emo rocker (which yes, I realize is an oxymoron). It just came off as though he was yet another unoriginal, whiny pop artist who pretends to be watered down punk rock.

I love rock music: my favorite band is Aerosmith, and I grew up listening to most of the greats. For all his comparisons to Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger, Adam isn't nearly as good as either one of them. Both of them were the genuine article, Adam is not. I wish him all the best in his future career, but I didn't support him on the show and I won't be supporting him by buying any of his forthcoming music.

I get the exact same comments from people, not necessarily from those around me, because my state tends to vote very conservatively, but when traveling and especially online. I disagree with 98% of his political views, so why on earth would I vote for him? I think it's amazing that we finally have a black president; I just wish he was somebody I could agree with and fully support.

I liked Adam's performances on Idol. I would love to see him take on Ian Gillian's role as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. They're voices are amazingly similar. That said, the only performances I've given a repeated listen to, and the only singer whose pre-Idol stuff I have on my mp3 player are Kris Allen's. He is an excellent singer/songwriter and does not deserve the 'less talented' backlash from Adamites who don't get that songs need not be screamed at them in order to be listened to. Plus, despite being far more camera-friendly, of the top twelve, Kris had less than a minute of airtime through the audition period when Idol preps the voters for the next big thing. They're chosen one was upset, and the whining commenced. Both will have decent careers (as will Allison), but Kris's will probably have longevity. We'll just have to see what they do.

This whole thing about why one lost and the other won is B S. The performer Lambert had a group of followers that kept him in the competition and that group, although large, varied little in numbers. Allen on the other hand had a similar but probably not as large of a group backing him throughout the competition. The difference was that Iraheta and Gokey each had their supporters and as each failed to garner enough votes their supporters went to someone similar. Iraheta's went to Gokey and Allen. Gokey's then went to Allen when Gokey was voted off the show. The was no one, repeat no one that Lambert could draw support from other than his basic long time group. When the finale came you had an overwhelming group of voters that had previously supported other candidates that had been voted off the show. Their votes went to the next best similar candidate. Lambert had his steady week after week group of the same voters.

Besides Lambert is a performer that does not sing that well. He screams and screeches his vocals and that is very irritating. Allen on the other hand is a singer period. Remember what Simon Cowell repeatedly says about the show "it is a singing contest." Lambert is the performer you see on a street corner doing skits for pocket change. Gokey, Iraheta and Allen are the types that will cut CD's and sells copies and tickets. The singer and not the screamer won so get over it and quit whining.
