Super Wednesday–the remains of the day! February 6, 2008

Posted by spacemom in : Current Affairs , trackback

Yesterday was one of the most amazing Super Tuesdays EVER.

We did vote. Jay and I were originally going to cancel each other’s vote out, but no, he turned to the dark side and voted Hillary with me. She won our state and I am THRILLED to see she and Obama are in a neck and neck race. I honestly think that we should have a Hillary/Obama ticket. She has more experience, he has great ideas. Let her run as president, him as vice. In 4 years, he will be ready to be president (or 8) and then he will be the front runner. Right now, I worry that he will be another Jimmy Carter. Great ideas, not enough experience for the execution.

In our state, we have selected a young, unexperienced Governor, Deval Patrick. He has great ideas, but in his first year, he has gotten very little done. I worry that Obama will be the same. So let him go as vice and learn how to work the machine. And then he can go as the presidential candidate.

Of course, these are just my ideas and we have to wait until the DNC to see what happens. If Obama gets the nomination, I will certainly vote for him.

 

And what about that Huckabee? Is anyone else scared of this man?

Ugh, Mike Huckabee breaks me out in a rash. What makes him really frightening is that he seems almost likable when you see him on the Colbert Report and then you hear him actually talk politics and it’s terrifying.

I can’t vote anyways, being a Canuck and all, but we are sure watching closely! I like Obama but he made a comment during the first big debate where he referred to people of other faiths as “non-believers”, as in “I think there should be equal rights for Christians and non-believers”. That really…really turned me off! So I’m pulling for Hilary.

But I think your idea of the double slate is a great one. Can you do that in the US?

As for Huckabee, he freaks the crap outta me, but I’m not worried because a) I’m sure McCain is going to take this one and b) I can’t believe your country would subject the rest of the world to another term of Republicans! :-)
