Ties are very silly.

They remind me of Christmas puppies.

*Ahem*

Have you kept up with the election business??

Here's where I'm at...

I've abandoned the "Who should we pick to support and then vote for?" approach for a more mathematically aware "Who is probably going to win so I can come to grips with the future?" one.

In short, I picked our old buddy Obama.

---In long (and you may skip to the next dotted line---

Huckabee skews some pretty important lines between our friends the Church and State, and McCain (when he gets nominated, because he will) will be running for a party whose been shot in the foot by the current President.

Ol' Hil is keeping pretty steady pace, and it's likely that she's tried to stay right behind Obama to draw out some of her supporters, but in the long run I don't know that her party believes she can win a Presidency. (Noteworthy: I strongly believe in the ability of a woman to lead, I just want our first lady President to be a lady. That's all.)

---Ah, this is the dotted line---

I picked up Obama's second book to see what this guy's all about, and so far (pg 33.) it's been pretty good. He covers the important issues and relates to the average book-aisle-at-Sam's Joe, and he doesn't mask his left-sidedness to fluff up his readers.

Anyway, there are probably many things to say, but what do you guys make of the hullabaloo??
