In good election news, yay, Obama! Barack Obama in 2008! Numfar, do the dance of wicked-cool politicians!

As I said in jtersesk's journal, if my reaction to this crappy election is to write Barack Obama a swoony love letter with hearts dotting the I's and a lock of my hair and a quiz on the back that says "Check 'yes' if you like me back!", that's okay, right?

I voted for Obama! I rule so hardcore! And I convinced others to vote Obama!

Can you add, "ps, Harmonyfb likes you, too. Will you sit by her at lunch? Yes/No"?

your icon is the first thing that's made me smile in about 12 hours. thanks.

Nah. It'll be Obama in 2012. 2008 is too soon.

I'm thinking it will be Guiliani vs. Clinton (Hillary) in 2008.

More likely

Clinton/Obama '08.

And don't forget to fold it up in a nearly-impossible-to-unfold shape with a tab that says "pull here" but only serves to tighten the folds like some sort of bizarre teen version of Chinese finger cuffs.

A friend of mine pointed to something you said in Metaquotes (the "11 states have banned..." bit), and after reading a couple posts, I decided to friend you. So, Hi!

That'd work for me, too. :)

I think a ticket with Edwards and Obama would be a more viable option. Clinton will just serve to polarize the vote even further.

Re: More likely

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

That's true. God knows conservatives would have a field day with Hilary.

Personally, I want Obama in that Oval Office. The more I read about him, the more I love him. If he runs in four years and is looking for volunteers, I am so incredibly there.

Want to hear something amazing? Me, too. I have never, ever, ever worked on a political campaign. Ever. I don't do that sort of thing.

But I will if he runs.

Yes, that was the earth you heard, shifting.

Oh, me too. This country is ready for someone with his kind of character. We haven't had a truly decent human being in that office since Carter. (Say what you will about his effectiveness as president, that old man is a truly good person and a gentleman.)

And Edwards has a nice bum. I have a feeling that it'd be Edwards/Obama in '08, however, since Edwards is going to be more senior a senator.

The horror! The horror!

[dargie.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking of sending him a note saying "Help us, Obi Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope."

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

I would love it if he ran, but given the results of THIS election, I think 4 years is too soon.

Re: More likely

[trishalynn.livejournal.com]

Let's hope he can tone down the puppy dog-ness. But I really, really like the idea of Obama the pres instead of the Veep.

I'd only vote for Hilary Clinton if I could talk to her first and let her feel my velvety iron glove.

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

me too! just put some fishis blowing kisses.

me <3 Obama.

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

I'm actually of Bush vs. Clinton in 2008.

As in Jeb vs. Hillary...

It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

New York-centric viewpoint, anyone? :)

It ain't happening. Clinton is too divisive to be a national candidate, and the Republicans would rather cut off their toes than nominate anyone from New York City, a.k.a. Gomorrah. Let alone a pro-choice guy.

That Presidential race would be an act of desperation (or just plain insanity) on the part of both parties. And I'm not sure I'd like either result.

wouldn't I have to be a citizen of New York to be centered on it?

Hillary Clinton has been keeping a low profile nationally, but she's keeping herself in the sights of the dems that make those kind of choices. She isn't being inflammatory. She isn't alienating her constituents. She is playing it smart. I still say she'll make a bid.

[pie-is-good.livejournal.com]

Well, of course yay Obama. Even if he wasn't cool, look at the opposition.

Don't forget to spray it with cheap perfume

[silent-sybil.livejournal.com]

I would totally vote for him.

...Wow, and the election-day gloom has just started to drift away. Who wants to get busy on his campaign?

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

You don't have to live in NY to have an overly NY-centered viewpoint. All the major media outlets live there.

Clinton is too divisive- there's just too many people who automatically associate her with Satanic evil. People keep mentioning her because she's probably the most prominent female politician around, and her name recognition is off the charts, but it's not happening. Everyone recognizes her name, and too many people despise it. It's better to start off unknown.
