Politics, Eeeechhh!
I’m voting for Obama. I’m very happy to be doing so.
I’d have been just as happy to vote for Clinton. In fact, she was the one I was hoping would get the nomination. But I’m truely happy with Obama. For me, the choice between Obama and Clinton (actually, to go further back, Edwards was my first choice. I felt he nicely split the difference between Clinton’s tenacity and insider knowledge and Obama’s sincerity and passion) was like being asked which you would rather have, $1million or $1.1 million. Sure, given the choice I’ll choose the $1.1 million, but either one would be wonderful.
Eight years ago I had some respect and admiration for McCain. The way he spoke to the radical christian right was refreshing and reasured me that not all of the politicians on the right were willing to sink to any depths get votes. Now, I’ve lost all that respect and admiration. He’s just another right wing politician who will go to any lengths of pandering in order to get the power he so desperately craves. I’m saddened. I wouldn’t have voted for him anyway, I don’t agree with him on lots of things, but I really thought he was in government for the poeple and that his views were his own.
So, that’s it. That’s my politics post. I wont be posting much more on it. you know where to find the good blogs on the subject.
