The more people I talk to people about the ’08 presidential election, the more I hear that they’ve lost all hope in the candidates and oftentimes in the process itself. Well, I take that back. Obama’s supporters are extremely happy over his landslide success in this election. After squashing Huckabee and Clinton his only remaining challenge is to overcome all the die-hard Republicans who’ll be voting for McCain.
Interestingly, it seems that no one will be voting for McCain because they feel he’s the best man for the job, but rather because they just don’t want Obama in the White House. Personally, I think that’s a lame reason to vote for anyone but I suppose I can at least understand the reasoning behind a vote cast in that manner.
I’m still pulling for Ron Paul. He’s clearly the best man for the job. I’ll leave it at that. But instead of a guy with a conscience and a clear head about things, we’re left with the three stooges. But hey, I mean, at least it’s entertaining to see Clinton going for the dual-eye-poke on Obama, who throws the vertical-hand-of-defense in typical stooge fashion.

Yeah, you and I pretty much see eye to eye. The thing about Obama is that he seems like the kind of guy that I could sit down with over beer and have an incredibly fun conversation. The only problem is that ideologically we’re from different planets.
BTW, I just noticed that those weren’t the real Three Stooges. Hilarious!
love the pink on the page.
but i miss the flickr feed! i need me some toddler boy!
Thanks Anna. The thing about that Flickr feed is that it was being very rarely updated by me. If you still want a Toddler Boy fix they’ll always be available at http://flickr.com/frotzed.
This Obama/Clinton race is becoming more and more of an embarrassing spectacle. I wonder how its going to effect the party to have two dueling candidates (and the duel is going to have to get much uglier at some point).
I think the Democrats must be getting tired of the clash of “titans” that should have been over with Super Tuesday. It wasn’t, and now the whole thing is slowly but surely reminiscent of that old Disney Fantasia opener with Mickey Mouse calling on the brooms to help him out and barely being able to rid himself of their incessant activity at the end.
What was once a spectacular show for the Democrats is surely turning into a nightmare for the party as Clinton isn’t about to give up and both her and Obama are beginning to show the darker sides (or is that content- and issue-depleted sides) of their agenda and their characters.
I wonder which of the party bigwigs is going to be brave enough to step in and end it all? That’s what I’m waiting for.
“but rather because they just don’t want Obama in the White House. “
Wow ben I am shocked to see that most of the people you know don’t want Obama.
To me its obvious he is the best candidate, he can change the way washington works.
anyway what you said just surprised me because I thought you would be one of those supporting Obama because of your views- that I am been reading abou for the last couple of years.
Meh. Obama isn’t going to change anything. Maybe one or two minor things but it’s not like one man can go in and change the way an entire government works. I don’t like Obama’s fiscal philosophy. He’s just going to end up spending money hand over fist, take from the rich, give to the needy, that kind of crap.
Oh fiscal conservatism, if that was truly a big concern for Conservative republicans, they wouldn’t support any GOp candidates… because bill was more responsible than the two Bushs and Reagan combined.
He cut the deficit.
I agree. The GOP is horrible when it comes to the budget and spending.
