Election 2008: IT NEVER ENDS.
I’m really pissed at Ohio and Texas right now. They had a chance to end all of this. This wasn’t like Super Tuesday where 22 states kept it going. But Ohioans and Texans knew it was all on them and they said, “Clinton!” Maybe it was the awesome power of fear of her 3AM ad. Maybe it was the people of Ohio being too stupid to see that not only was Obama NOT a Muslim (and that even if he was, that doesn’t make him a terrorist), but that Clinton constantly supported NAFTA which had left their state economically fucked. If the saying of “As goes Ohio, so goes the nation,” holds true, then I’m out of here. New Zealand sounds nice.It’s not that I’m an Obama supporter. I am. But nor am I a Hillary-hater. Yes, I find her tactics distasteful and I think the “New Democrat”-identity of her and her husband is really just code for “Republican-lite,” I’m not depressed because she won. I’m depressed because now this primary will continue till at least April 22nd and the Pennsylvania primary. And I’m not exactly sure what’s most depressing about that. I’ll lay it out multiple-choice style:
a. The media coverage which will continue to show us how they’re easily manipulated and highly inept.
b. That no matter who gets the Democratic nomination, John McCain just gets to sit back and watch his potential opponent torn down by their Democratic rival and build his ammunition for the general election. Hillary’s already helped him on that front by saying that both her and McCain have more experience than Obama. That was stupid no matter how you slice it.
c. We’re going to endure seven weeks of ugly mud-slinging.
d. More goddamn debates.
e. All of the above.
[If you flip to the back of the book, you'll see that the answer is 'e']
If guys like Al Gore, Joe Biden, and John Edwards were real leaders, they would all unite behind one candidate and make sure this ends as soon as possible. I would prefer that candidate to be Barack Obama, but it would be so Democrats to pick Clinton and thus lose the general election. And don’t tell me that she’ll pick Obama as her running mate. Chris Rock’s logic still holds that you won’t ever see a black vice president if the president is white. Why? “Because some black guy would just shoot the president, that’s why! What are you gonna do? Send me to jail with a bunch of black guys that treat me like a hero for the rest of my life?” I don’t care if it’s a comedy sketch. That’s bulletproof logic.

Both of them are looking like idiots at this point.
They’re slinging mud(stupid mud, too) at each other left and right, and both of them are guilty of it. And not their campaigns — no, both of the actual candidates are saying stupid shit about each other in a desperate bid to get ahead.
All they’re doing is making the Democratic party look ridiculous while the Republicans maintain the impenetrable-fortress feel they’ve always had down.
I can’t remember the name of the editorialist, but it was one at CNN who said “We had an embarrassment of riches — now we just have an embarrassment.”
