Primaries

A lot of people don't seem like Clinton (I also disliked her at first), but the more of her I see, the more my opinion of her has warmed. She is a competent woman, and I would feel comfortable with her leading America.

The other forerunner is Obama, and no doubt he is much more charismatic than Clinton. I used to like him much more than Clinton, but every time they go head to head, I see more of his weaknesses. He remains my preferred candidate between the two of them, however the gap has closed by a lot in my mind.

Of course, the Democrats are extremely united this year, so whoever wins can pretty much count on the support of the entire party.

McCain won New Hampshire, which is actually a bit of a shock. I had pretty much written his campaign as dead in the water. God help us all if he gets into office, God help us all.

Huckabee managed to take up 3rd position, and I'm willing to bet that was fueled significantly by the Colbert bump. Which is actually kind of sad.

Ron Paul: "I'm going to get rid of the Federal Reserve!"
Crowd: *Loud cheering*
What the fuck is wrong with these people?

The Republicans are really weak this year, their turnouts have diminished (as opposed to the Democrats, whose turnouts have strengthened). This cannot bide well for them in the elections.

So, I am hastily writing thoughts on the primaries instead of studying for a test. Tommorow. I am so screwed, this is worse than the time I watched Harvey Birdman all night instead of studying.
