Jon Stewart telling Romney off (not in person) after his quitting speech was quite satisfying.<BR/><BR/>I, too, am an Obama supporter. I had to do some soul searching about it, there was a reasonably large part of me that felt like I needed to support Hillary, to support the sisters, as it were. I'm not wild about her as a person, based on instinct more than "facts" as Jim likes to call them. :) But, geez, I'd like to see a woman elected president. (I'm not sure Hillary'd make it, honestly, but it would be coooool to see.) <BR/><BR/>Obabma got the "It'd be cool to see" factor going for him too, obviously, but I heard a soundbyte from one of the gazillons of debates, the one where someone asked if he'd talk to Hugo Chavez, or just nuke him, or something (obviously, that's a paraphrase of the question.) Obama replied that those were exactly the kind of people that you had to keep talking to, because that was the only way you had options. And that's what was in my head when I voted.meteowritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224391546564691114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442936265602237642.post-80817466032474436272008-02-08T11:42:00.000-08:002008-02-08T11:42:00.000-08:00Ms. Joy pointed out that the Right Wing's favorite...Ms. Joy pointed out that the Right Wing's favorite fiction writer, Ann Coulter, has been quoted as saying that if McCain won the Republican nomination she would be forced to vote for Hillery.

We Yachatsians are leaning strongly towards Obama as well, it has a giddy JFK feeling about it. I like Hillary, but she campaigns like a Bush, and I don't like it. And the country could do a lot worse than McCain (see above). It is good having an election that can only lead to improvement, and even more fun to think about conventions that might actually mean something.Goodyearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17874829454954089279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442936265602237642.post-37287484427171535542008-02-05T15:55:00.000-08:002008-02-05T15:55:00.000-08:00So, m'chara, going to tell us who you are thinking...So, m'chara, going to tell us who you are thinking of backing? We're pretty firmly in the Obama camp (we like smart people and think it would be neat if one ran the country again), but honestly, I wouldn't cry if Clinton won, nor oddly enough, if McCain did (for a conservative he is not all that scary). Our super Tuesday was nothing as we don't have one--we have to wait until the 12th by which time we may make little difference. Still, fun.Jim Tschen Emmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03716337376891887252noreply@blogger.com
