GObama

Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, and for the first time I will vote in a Presidential Primary, and it will be in California. I have decided that Obama is going to get my vote.

I think I've made it fairly clear that I think the whole thing is a bit of a farcical pig circus. If any of us had the nation to build from the ground up as we saw fit (perhaps in a Sims-esque game), no one would choose any of the major candidates to lead our country. But Obama, Clinton, and even potentially McCain are all people that I would tolerate without too much relative agony, compared to the terrible emotional holocaust that has been the Bush administration. As for Hucakbee and Romney, the first seems amiable and funny, the second seems uptight and crotchety, but they are both insane fuckers who will continue the terrible downward spiral of America if allowed anywhere near the Oval Office. Romney's firm recently acquired the media titan Clear Channel, which is NOT something you want your president to hold executive power over. And Huckabee doesn't believe in evolution. Enough said about those two clowns.

That being said, I like the cut of Obama's jib. Obama pledges to double funding for basic research, which is good for me. He also seems the most savvy in terms of the available technology, and he wants too get us out of Iraq. But really, the final nail in Hillary's coffin came for me at the end of a recent debate, when they were asked whether they would consider either a Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama ticket. Obama's answer: smooth as all hell. Clinton: awkward and shamelessly self-promoting without answering the question.

Also, I think the Obama-McCain debates will be fucking fantastic.
