Campaign '08...How Much Fucking Longer?

Yet again, the primaries in North Carolina and Indiana have failed to settle the question of who’s going to be the Democratic nominee for president. In what it’s becoming to be the most anti-climactic race perhaps ever, Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton have each secured wins in North Carolina and Indiana, respectively. Although, it would be fair to mention that Obama won by a landslide while Hillz barely held on to her lead.

At this point, Obama not getting the nomination would be a fucking joke on the Democratic Party. He leads in the popular vote and the delegates are supposed to reflect that. Overall, he does better with young and college educated voters, regardless of color which is refreshing. Clinton won the ivillage demographic and blue-collar workers. Not that there’s anything wrong with blue collar workers or middle aged women but this group failed to acknowledge the vast political and ideological ramifications of each of the candidates.

True, Obama may not have so much experience but the mere fact that he emerged as the leading candidate after being considered the dark horse shows that he has the charisma and political gumption to pull this off. And although his association with one Jeremiah Wright Jr. may have hurt him it by no means broke him. Wright’s inflammatory rhetoric doesn’t stand a chance against Obama’s thoughtful and heartfelt speeches (that speech on race…I fucking cried at work!) Mr. Obama stands for change in a country that so badly needs it and I hope that he will be able to deliver.

So far, the Democratic primaries have been a testament to people’s ability to look beyond the lines of race and gender so I suppose that no matter who comes out on top we all win in the end.
