The Gap is Closing

Earlier this evening MSNBC showed Obama up 170 electoral votes to McCain's 90. The numbers are getting closer though. Obama is hitting the 200s and McCain is catching up. I'm eager for Colorado to get its stupid numbers in. I want to see if my voice actually made a difference or if everything I've been fighting about the last few months has been for nothing.

Democrat Party

I just got back from the Dem. party at Mesa Theater. It was a little lame. The majority of the people there were well over 40 and drinking heavily. I didn't feel like I needed to watch t.v. I could watch at home in a room full of adults I didn't know. The free food was alright and the atmosphere was welcoming. I just don't think I'm old enough to properly enjoy a political party party.

McCain Rally

I attended the McCain visit. I was surprised by many things. There wasn't any kind of line to get in. It didn't seem like that many people were filing through the gate, but when I got inside I was greeted by a good 1500 people. There were so many little kids, blindly waving McCain signs just as their parents were. I felt like these kid were not getting a chance to make decisions on their own. Despite how young they were, I think they are brainwashed. Mom and Dad aren't always right. McCain was over an hour late. I understand that he's got stuff to do, but by the time he spoke I was almost too pissed to listen. People didn't respond very nicely to my "Change we need" chants. Go figure.

ignorance

I heard some dumb Republican kid say "It's called the White House for a reason" the other day. I've never been more astounded by a person's idiocy before. I don't care if you don't support Obama's agenda, but pulling the race card, especially on such a stupid level, is unacceptable in any facet of American life. I wanted to break the kid's nose and see if Republicans really do bleed crude oil.

the final stretch

The election is a week from tomorrow. I'm starting to feel good about Obeezy's chances. The polls have shown McCain down significantly in the last week, so we may not have to deal with Sarah Palin destroying the white house. It will be interesting, after all the work and trouble we've gone through to help Obama, to see how things turn out. I'm going to be terribly disappointed if my boy loses. I did my part to make this thing happen.

My Pal Palin (Ha)

Sarah Palin's visit to Junk Town stirred up a great deal more controversy than Obama's. Given there were significantly more people at the Palin rally, but people seemed to behave completely different. The idiots that decided to protest by jumping in front of her motorcade make Democrats look bad. Picketing is one thing, but being a dumbass is unacceptable. I don't agree with Palin, but I don't think there's any harm in letting the woman speak and make herself look like an idiot. The Palin visit was more like a rally than the Obama visit. Obama didn't have "opening acts" and big names like Hank Williams Jr. The Republicans do everything weirdly. I don't approve.

Presidential Debate 2

I never realized how old McCain really was until I saw him shuffling around stage at the second debate. The man walks like he's about to fall apart. It's hard to lead a country when you can't stand up. McCain was also taking notes in Sharpie. That is impratical on numerous levels. I mean, that junk bleeds through like no one's business. I think the debate did a good job to portray McCain in a poor physical and political light, similar to the way Nixon was downplayed way back when. Obeezy was smooth, calm, and collected while McCain spoke. During Obama's talks, McCain was literally wandering around aimlessly, like an old person in a building they're unfamiliar with. Tough business. Tough Business.
