I’ve had enough of this shit.
I don’t have the stomach for President Hillary Clinton, okay? I’m going to have to move if it happens. New Zealand, Finland, and Iceland are leading my list of candidate destinations. (No wussy cries of “Canada!” here.) And it’s going to take me a hell of a long time to talk Lea into moving to New Zealand, Finland, or Iceland.
So—in the name of all that is holy—Barack Obama, will you please finish this tedious, babbling, soulless bitch off, already?
I’ve not called any of this correctly. I thought Obama’s insane preacher would be a major factor far longer than he was. Before that, I thought Hillary was done, before she roared back. I thought McCain was done a year ago. So I don’t want to say Hillary’s done. Fate, I didn’t say that.
Except I don’t believe in fate.
I don’t want any of these people to be President of the United States. They all suck. They’ll all grow the government, and as large and ineffective as huge swaths of it are right now, that’s itself enough to sustain the charge of suckdom.
But the positive about which I’ve allowed myself to fantasize that could realistically emerge from this cacophony is the political smackdown of the Clintons. I mean, if Obama pulls this nomination off, they’ll be done forever. She’ll just be an obnoxious senator from the Northeast, and he’ll just be groping the help or whatever.
Man. The Clintons have run the Democrats for 16 years. Wouldn’t it be great if they were suddenly just regular old run-of-the-mill assholes?
Barack, save me from this horrible vision. Save me from four years of that wooden and calculated smile.
Save me from the prospect of (retch) “First Gentleman Bill Clinton.”
Incidentally, as nothing I’ve said has come to pass, let me add that I believe Ron Paul will continue to be a non-factor in the 2008 presidential race.

I’m sick of it too, bro. My vehicle has a bumper magnet that says “1/20/2009.” I’m ready for ANYBODY to be president except for the current occupant.
And that’s sick. That’s not what elections are supposed to be about.

Don’t hold back, tell us how you really feel.
New England? When did New York become part of New England?
Thank you, Gerry! Don’t go saddling us innocent Yankees with the Clintons; New England consists of ME, NH, VT, MA, RI and CT. Those New Yorkers are an ENTIRELY different animal…
I agree, though – I’m tired of this race. Of course, I was tired of it a year and a half ago, so I guess I’m not saying anything new….
For that matter, since when is Hillary a New Yorker?
Sorry. Fixed it.
I’m not even tired of the race per se. When I don’t like anybody in it, it’s a lot easier to enjoy the bloodsport of it all.
I am tired of being teased about the political death of the Clintons–to me an unambiguous and resounding positive development, if it ever comes about. Around Christmas ’06, when I first posted about Obama, I never dreamed he’d sustainedly and legitimately challenge for the nomination. Hillary was inevitable. Everybody “knew” it.
Well, now that she’s clearly not, Obama brings the pain, but never quite enough of it. She’s down, and you tower over her, and yet she lives. Good God, man, deliver the death blow!
Will Ron Paul be the the new Ralph Nader?
I’ve always wanted to see an All Blacks game live.
Even if I liked her politics, which I don’t really, I couldn’t vote for her because … ok, this is shallow and childish, but … she just reminds me too damn much of my former boss.
*shudder*
You know if she’d have just divorced Bill’s sorry ass way back when I *might* have had more respect for her…
Good point, that, Lea! I agree. My bet is that they stayed together for “political expediency,” and I have a hard time respecting people who put a higher priority on their jobs ( or on appearances) than they do their marriages. In fact, I kind of have a hard time with people who put ANYTHING above their marriages, but that’s just me….
