Some Final Words of Advice...

It seems that this entire Democratic race has come down to Texas and Ohio. With so much nonsense being thrown around in the media recently, who should Dems in these states support? Although vigorous debates and shameless campaigning have magnified their differences, these candidates are very, very similar. They have very similar voting records (outside of the Iraq vote, which the Obama front has etched into our minds) and despite Hillary’s experience claims, both are relatively new to the senate. But four more years of “Bushism” would not be a good thing. While McCain is not as conservative as the Limbaughs of the world would like; the idea of the Straight-Talk Express attempting to run train on Iraq frightens me. So the choice is clear. It is unsurprising because I fancy myself liberal, but my premier goal is to have either democratic candidate prevail over McCain. It is in my best interest that whichever candidate gets the nod from the Dems is capable of defeating McCain. Who would I vote for Texas and Ohio? Barack Hussein Obama. Although many things about him can easily be pointed out by the McCain crew to detract from his credibility, he can easily surf this “wave of excitement,” as his support has been characterized, right to the oval office. Obama’s deft rhetoric, which has been criticized by many as being only that, could help him derail the inevitable attempts which will be made by the Straight-Talk Express to discredit him. He is charismatic and likeable and has shown a unique ability to connect with people. Meanwhile, Hillary, although she has amassed much support and respect, is simply disliked by many for various pathetic reasons. Whether it is because she “seems like a jerk,” “wears ugly necklaces,” stayed with Bill after he “knew” Monica in the oval office, or simply because she is a woman and America is subconsciously (or for chauvinists everywhere consciously) not ready for that, she has many detractors. It would be very difficult for her to attract enough independent voters in November to take the White House back. So liberals of Ohio and Texas, the polls should open in about six hours. Get down there and ensure that the next president is one whom we can at least work with. P.S. Damn it Nader you got your point across. Stop making it harder on us!
