Why...
Why is it always the boys that you DON'T want to call who will relentlessly call you, but the guys you DO want to call, never do?

Politics, n: [Poly "many" + tics "blood-sucking parasites"] ~Larry Hardiman
Okay, so I want everyone to take note… this blog is monumental in my blogging history, because anyone that knows me, or has read my previous blogs, knows that I RARELY voice my opinions about politics in real life, and NEVER in a blog… but there’s a first for everything right.
So I’ve been trying to be better informed about presidential candidates/what matters/what the best way to vote is/what the hell I should be looking for in a good presidential candidate/blah/blah/blah. And it’s all hella confusing, but that’s why I’m attempting to learn more, right? To broaden my horizons, to expand my working knowledge about a subject that is far from my understanding.
So in my researching/thinking/whatevering about the presidential campaign, I think I have become an Obama supporter. Which is interesting, because I am very much for women’s rights, and seeing women succeed in our country and rise to equality. But when it comes to the presidency, I want the first woman elected president to kick ass. And, although Hillary is cool and all [shrug]… I don’t think she can do it. She’s riding on Bill’s wave and she’s sort of a has been [shrug]. I don’t really care if Obama has less experience, blah blah blah… I think in some cases, less experience is better. It’s fresh. I think sometimes people are afraid of the less experienced because they have so many new ideas to try and new concepts, but in the end… I think that you can pull ahead to the front by embracing the new ideas. There’s evidence to both support and condemn that idea, of course, but [shrug]… I’d much rather take a risk and do something out of the ordinary to create a monumental change than to continue to play it safe and persist in mediocrity.
There ya go. My first political blog posting… I know, it’s like two paragraphs, whop-de-do. [smile].
