Hillary. Obama. It's all good! |
|
Look... I'm just as tired of the endless Hillary/Obama circle-jerk as everyone else. So, I'm just gonna come out and say it.
It's all good.
Seriously. Either one of them will be a fantastic President. Certainly, either one of them can beat the best that the Repukes have to offer! Neither one was my first choice. Unfortunately, my first choices seem to keep dropping out. :( So, now I'm forced to choose between a feminist leader and a dynamic, young African-American man. What a choice! It's like choosing between your two favorite ice cream flavors.
My first time voting for Prez was in 1984. I loathed Reagan, like most of the women at my all-women's college did. I think that I voted for Bradley(?) in the primaries. However, the nominee was Fritz Mondale. Mondale knew that he was going to lose to The Gipper big-time, so he had to pull a stunt to get votes. He selected Geraldine Ferraro, one of the few women in Congress at that time. Of course it was a stunt. But we all thought it was great - we voted for "Gerry Ferraro and What's His Name". Well, y'all know what happened there. I never thought that I'd see a woman as a serious contender for President again. I also never thought I'd see a Black man as a serious contender, not just a Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton clown who is running to make a point.
Yes, there are differences between Hillary and Obama. But, just take a breath and look at this race. We have two fantastic, dynamic candidates. The Repugs have a man almost as old as my parents, an aging Ken Doll, a Formerly Fat Fundie, and a certifiable whacko. All of whom are white men.
No, I'm not saying who I'm voting for next week. Because I'm a jinx, and I don't want to jinx my last choice. :D

My levels of enthusiasm vary depending on whether it is Obama (YAYAYAYYAYA) or Hillary (yayayaa). One thing for certain we need to take down McCain.
