That can only me one… ok a couple of things. My birthday, Thanksgiving, and my favorite… One year until the Presidential Elections! WAAHOO. For the past Lord knows how many months the Democrats and Republicans have been squaring off in debates ranging from a YouTube debate to the usual “town hall” event. Caring about the debates, and the candidates up until now would have been a waste of my time. I’ve told myself since all the candidates started coming out of the wood work, that I would not start caring until one year before the election. And with October past, and November in the present, I’m ready to get my game face on and start talking politics.
Despite my completely apathetic attitude toward “Decision 2008″ back around May I predicited a Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton Democratic ticket. Why? Clinton has the connections and backbone to say what she means while Obama is a pretty face people can get behind!
Aside from the practically useless information provided by the news stations, the Daily Show and Colbert Report have been my only real sources for keeping up with “campaigns”. I promise to diversify my readings, listenings and viewings - I know many of the candidates just by name and face, but know nothing about what they are running for. So, stay tune, I will also promise you some good non-partisan comments and posting in the coming year. Happy reading.
For now,
S
