It's a good thing I don't gamble

…because I totally didn’t see this happening. I thought for sure Guliani was gonna ride the 9/11 wave (and his “liberal” stances on the gays and abortion) into the White House. I don’t know if I’m that happy about being wrong because I think McCain (and his scary, scary teeth) and Romney might be a wee bit more frightening. I think this is the point in the race when I might start paying attention. A little.

And the best hair in politics is also dropping out; it was cute of him to hang around as long as he did.

The United States better be ready for a woman or a black dude as president. Enough with the white guys running things into the ground. Hate Hillary all you want, but I think she’s a tough chick who commands more respect than some think. I refuse to be one of those people who criticizes her for staying with her cheating husband for political reasons (women have stayed with worse husbands for worse reasons). I refuse to act as though her ambition and desire for power are curses because she wears skirts. An ambitious and powermad man has had this country in a losing war for almost 6 years. I refuse to berate her for getting emotional because I really don’t want some automaton running things.

Obama may well provide a since of hope and change, but there is still a part of me that thinks he has bought into his own hype. The air around his campaign is almost like he is the latest trend that everyone is into. The string of celebrity endorsements may end up hurting his more than they help. Some of us kinda hate Oprah and the rest don’t give rat’s buttcrack whom Toni Morrison is endorsing. His lack of experience makes me nervous and worried for him (although, I’m not one of those black people who are sure he will be assassinated if elected…not that I would put it past some of the crazies in this nation) because Hillary has enduring years of this political crap. She’s berated for not letting it get to her (except that ONE TIME she let her emotions show which I’ve already covered), but she kinda just lets it roll off her back. Girlfriend is tough. I wonder if Obama is really prepared for the intense scrutiny he will be under.
