Turn Out The Lights

The party is over. Hillary will be giving her concession speech tomorrow night. It was a good fight. It got ugly at times. It exposed Hillary as a candidate willing to do whatever it takes to win, which was noble but was also sometimes ugly, if not embarrassing. I still believe she would make the better president but it looks like Obama is the one who can get the most votes. And at the end of the day, getting the most votes is the most important thing, especially this year, with the right wing sporting another mental midget as their candidate. Our country just can't afford another 4 years with an idiot at the helm.

As I've said before, there was a time when I would have considered voting for McCain, but the McCain that I would've considered voting for has left the station, never to return. I don't recognize McCain '08, and I doubt that he recognizes himself anymore. Which might be a big reason why he keeps screwing up so royally when he speaks in public. He has flip-flopped so much and kow-towed to his party's wants and desires so much that he no longer knows who he is, or was. So when he is out there speaking on the stump, it appears that he is confused, because he is. But is it senility? Or is it just too hard to differentiate between what he believes in and what he's been "told" he believes in in order to become the neocon candidate? At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. He's a goner.

Which brings me full circle back to Hillary. I have this vision in my mind of Hillary taking the stage tomorrow, withdrawing, conceding, and ACCEPTING the VP nomination. Holy cow, happy days are here again! But I know this will not, can not happen. Although this would make perfect sense for our country and for the democratic party, I'm sorry to say that ego's will prevail. Sadly, I just can't see Hillary ever settling for #2. And maybe it's for the best. For if Obama is really going to be able to come in and change America, it is probably best that he comes in with a team of fresh faces, new believers, champions for the cause. I firmly believe that a major part of the Duh administrations' failures stem from Duh filling his cabinet with a bunch of old timers bent on reacquiring the power that they once had then lost when they were in their prime. Absolute power corrupts, absolutely. See exhibit Duh.
