I'm a hillary fan. I don't know why, probably subconsciously because she's a woman and I've tended to trust women in power more so than men. I try to justify it with her politics, but really she's the same as Barack. Their politics are pretty much the exact same thing to the letter.
I can totally get behind that logic, because I do think that women are usually better than men, but I just feel some magic affinity for Obama.
I'm literally not going to work today (because I don't have a class today), and I don't have rehearsal because everyone has a conflict, so I have been watching CNN on one tv and playing videogames on another all day. These are the ways that I combat stress (I would make a terrible 9-to-5ver).
don't let yourself get poisoned by cnn's bullshit though, I feel like the way they - and all the other big networks - have spinned the election politics have been really awful, both racist and sexist.
I've totally got the OBAMA DRAMA all up in my shit! So excited about him. I recently read an article about one of his speech writers, who's like 26 and really cute. seriously. made me sick.
On to Hillbilly...I'm not a fan, and i kind of hate her. not quite sure why. I think part of it for me is that she's more conservative than she's letting on, and I really hated the whole crying incident. that shit pissed me off because she was all "i'm just so worried about our country! sniff!" which I felt was staged and ultimately complicit with the sexist media bullshit surrounding her campaign. anyway. that's my two cents.
oh, I want a lj update soon about the grad school campaign! I got the burfy herpe (or something similar to obama fever)!
i think there have been two absolutely brilliant speeches made in my lifetime so far. one was bill clinton's 2004 democratic convention speech which you MUST read here:
