For the record
Posted by Sonic Charmer on February 7, 2008
I would have voted for Obama yesterday, had I had the foresight to:
- register to vote
- foresee that by the time the primary got around to my state, I would find all surviving (R) candidates supremely yawnworthy (or creepy), thus not care much who wins the (R) nomination, and thus
- register as a (D) so as to at least influence the election in a way I cared about.
And, of course, if – after doing all that – I had voted at all.
Why? Well, of course there is the fact that Obama is all kinds of Orwellian cool. But there is also the important fact that he is not Hillary Clinton. I am really tired of having to see/pay attention to Hillary Clinton.
