The Speculation

Sarah Palin? Really?

It seems like a blatantly contrived attempt to grab disgruntled Hillary supporters. I just worry that it might work.

and women might vote for her because they know McCain will die halfway into his first term, so we'll have a woman president soon enough..

Doesn't really matter either way. It's all a manufactured illusion of choice.

Pretending that something doesn't exist won't make it go away. Just because the choices are limited doesn't mean they are illusory.

Personally, I find Obama to be the first candidate I'll actually vote for instead of simply voting against the candidate I despise. He's a bit more moderate/centrist than I'd like--I'd prefer somebody who was actually more of a social democrat/liberal, like the Right-Wing Media has tried to paint him--but he supports nearly all of the views that I've been looking for in a candidate:

• he's against the war in Iraq and has been from the start;
• he's a strong proponent of renewable energy and plans to create incentives to grow the eco-friendly energy industry in America, creating thousands of new jobs (especially for returning veterans);


• he's pro-choice;


• he champions universal access to healthcare;
• he's in favor of equal rights for everyone (homosexuals, Muslims, atheists, and women included);
