this is disheartening disclaimer: i haven't been planning to vote for barack obama, or hillary, or john edwards. and due to the ridiculous stranglehold new hampshire and iowa hold on having the early, (and might i add, IMPORTANT) primaries, i won't be able to vote for the candidate i want to be the democratic candidate in the 08 election.
that said, this still makes me sad.
at any rate, i think i will be registering as a republican and voting for ron paul in the primary. j and i caught a bit of the republican debates on FOX last night, and aside from the freakish "liberal-bash" aspect and complete lack of substance (seriously, the republicans have been making about as much sense as a jerry springer guest) the real surprise of the night was ron paul, who both had a great reading of hillary as a candidate who isn't original or different, and managed to skewer his fellow candidates for not doing their own jobs well.
10 points as well to (i think it was hukabee or paul?) for pointing out that the republicans needed to embrace ending the war as over 70 precent of americans want out. (and of course, when you are elected to act on behalf of the PEOPLE, you should...when you don't abide by their wishes, it's called a dictatorship, and the Republicans have been toeing that line for quite some time.)
i am already getting nervous about the coming elections. ugggh.
