It’s not always like this.
I’ve never had my voter registration tainted with party affiliation, but I’m willingly getting some “Democrat” slopped on my record, so I can vote for Obama in today’s primary.
It’s kind of bittersweet. I think Bill was the best president we’ve had in my lifetime and I don’t dislike Hillary nearly as much as I do most other senators, but as a staunch Lesseroftwoevilsist I have to at least pretend my vote for Obama is going to be counted.
Are you stupid?
A current look at Primary and Caucus results shows Hillary beating Obama 306 to 235. If I’ve done the math right, that’s 306 jerks who think we should just let the Bush and Clinton families take turns in the Whitehouse. Well, that’s too bad, because it’s not going to happen.
It’s pretty simple really. McCain has cross-party appeal. Nominally Democratic Joe Sixpack would have loved to have voted for McCain 8 years ago and he’s been chomping at the bit to get a chance to do so ever since.
Hillary… oh, Hillary. Most Republicans hate her with a passion. They don’t have a really good reason to hate her, but that doesn’t make their hate less real, just irrational. You can’t argue with that kind of thing. Oh yeah, a lot of Democrats hate her too. They don’t have a reason and don’t need one… although there are plenty.
You still have time. There are enough delegates out there to turn this thing around. Obama gives the best speeches this side of JFK and he’s electable, so please do the right thing.
Plus, I swear, if Hillary gets the nomination and loses the election, I’m done with you jerks for good. There’s no reason for the Democratic party to even pretend to play in presidential politics if all it does is roll over and hope for a pat on the belly from the GOP.
One more thing.
Will.I.Am wrote a song based on one of Obama’s speeches. Does Hillary get songs made out of her speeches? No. No she doesn’t.
Bad Idea, originally uploaded by williac.
I wish I’d had time to slap a “Bad Idea” sticker on this. I may consider voting for Obama, but Clinton really needs to sit this one out. I love the idea of voting for a female president, but Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton is a nasty pattern and we’d have to let Jeb have it after that and then Chelsea and then Jenna and then we’ll just have to admit that we’re done with the whole election thing and that’s a delusion I’m not quite ready to let go of.
