Now what?

Hillary Clinton called me today! Well, her voice, recorded, but it was a far cry better than being plied by McCain's robocall. There's so much animus out there against Clinton. I've heard women say they despise her for being a power-hungry, self-centered careerist, and men because she voted for the Iraq mess. These folks all plump for Obama, whom they admit is not their perfect candidate. And he's not a self-centered power-seeking guy looking for a promotion? Like Ani diFranco says in a song lyric, "The ones that smile - watch their eyes..." Tired of hearing his so-called "audacity of hope." People act like he's some kind of rock star. Watch his eyes...
Late walk, in throughly miserable conditions of fog, cold, and a fine, penetrating heavy misty rain; we escaped to a watering hole as soon as possible.

Both Hillary and Chris Gregoire called while you were gone this morning. I feel like such an insider.

We didn't get a call from the Clinton campaign before plumping for Obama. (I too am uncomfortable with the cult of personality thing, but console myself that at least he's a Constitutional scholar.) So I feel kinda left out; to make matters worse, the only robo-call I got was from Mike Huckabee. Does this mean we're not worthy?

Oh, you're most worthy! Well, I just hope a Democrat beats the nutbag and the bible-beatin' hyopcrite this November, marclord.

Wait a minute...Obama is a rock star isn't he? Didn't he win a grammy?
