someone has a blabber bouche…

If you haven’t figured it out yet, the two candidates for democratic candidate are HILARY CLINTON and BARACK OBAMA. They are currently in their race to gain the most delegates, yada yada yada.

But what is this really?

Remember those good old days of voting for 8th grade superlatives and the “democratic” election of your SGA president? Has our political system really come so far as to equal such pathetic excuses of true-to-life honesty?

What I am trying to say is that, this year, it’s pretty much a freakin popularity contest.

You have Hilary and Obama, fighting it out for the position on the democratic side of things, both of which having pretty similar views and plans for the country. It’s gotten to the point where instead of talking about their ideas and plans, they just bash the other opponent’s campaign (4 in the morning comeback ad much?), and some people are simply voting for one or the other because they’d like to see a woman president vs. an african american president first, or vice versa.

Then, on the right side of things, you have you average white male in his 70s, McCain, who even though his card may say “Republican”, his views scream “Republicrat”. Add him into the mixture, boil in some post- primaries excitement, and the people of America now have 3 people to pick from with fairly similar views.

So who would you like to see in the white house? The first African-American prezzy, the first female prezzy, or the 44th white male president (cept this one is in his 70s..)?

I’m done now.
