Line in the sand

I am watching the debate and hmm...

I suppose i will have to eat my words. It just might be Hillary's win this time. Not because she is capable. Obama is just not dirty enough to play this game. That two-faced amoral bitch will do anything from standing by her cheating partner to lying through her teeth to stooping lower than low to get an eventual win!! Damn her!

But the question is, are Americans really that naïve?

If you are looking at the polls it is indeed an interesting divide between the democratic supporters. It is not odd that the African Americans are voting for Obama. But take note of the fact that the young and educated minds are voting for Obama, whereas women and older white population are voting for Hillary along with the hard working Hispanic populace. This begs the question, "Do we vote for people we identify with or the causes they stand up for?" But where is the bloody similarity between Hillary (hello, 109 million!) and a low wage earner, eh? What is even more intriguing is that the democrats supporting Hillary say that they will switch to McCain should Obama get the nomination! Whereas Obama supporters will still vote for the democratic nominee, irrespective of the candidate selected. C'est très intéressant, n'est-ce pas? Do you see the distinction now?

As i was driving home, listening to some campus interviews on NPR, i got a glimpse into the mindset of the Hispanic population. As the interviewee put it, "I am not ready to vote for a man of color, a woman, perhaps".

Welcome to America! What can i say, this baby is only 200 years old, and yet to mature! Je pense.

Sigh. Maybe i am just wasting my time trying to understand people, but my scheduled intravenous drips (Men in Trees/Top Chef) do not start until 10:00pm! And hey, it's always a delight to watch George Stephanopoulos! NOT!
