Election Day in Texas!

Well...it's here finally; the Texas primary! Of course, the primary in Ohio is at least as important as the one here, but I don't live in Ohio anymore, so it's the Texas version I care most about.

Republican Primary

McCain has the nomination sewn up, so who cares? The only thing that's interesting here is the fact that Huckleberry won't quit and help to unify the party. What a selfish boob! Most think that Hucky is vying for the VP nod, but who on earth would consider him for that when, several months later, Mitt Romney STILL has a delegate lead over him? To quote Bugs Bunney - "What an Ultramaroon!" THIS JUST IN!!!! HUCKLEBERRY CONCEDES!! HUCKLEBERRY CONCEDES!!! About what I said earlier......nevermind!

Democratic Primary

The Dem primary is interesting because of the personalities. We've got a scandal-plagued female who, despite claims to the contrary, only has experience following her so-called husband into one office after another and, by the way, a term and a year as a US Senator from a state that she wasn't even a resident of until an opportunity for that seat arose! We have another senator, one with almost as little experience as Clinton, who likes to speak in generalities, generate as much excitement as possible by cueing up all the typical Democrat rhetoric, but doing it with such FLAIR!!! You know the rhetoric I'm talking about; "Republicans are evil because of...tax cuts for the rich; high gas prices; NAFTA; Global Warming; Inflation; the Boogie Man; The Edsel; The fact that Pluto is no longer a planet; and increased numbers of fleas on the dog. Whoever the Dems nominate, he/she is an empty suit who will have a hard time governing and an easy time talking (whining) about why nothing is getting done.

So, where does it go from here? I think Americans are tired of what we've been doing and are past ready to try something new. I think it matters not who the nominees are; Americans are going to elect a Democrat this time and hope for change. I hope I'm wrong, because I don't see anything all that promising from either Democrat candidate. Sadly, I don't like the Republcian nominee that much either. This, then, is a "lesser of two evils" race and, frankly, I haven't decided who makes me hold my nose LESS at this point.
