I never heard who made the better cookie, Michelle Obama or Scary Vampire Woman?

Try Cindy’s Vicodin Crunch Clusters. They’re to die for.

Parliamentary system with proportional representation. There’s a political system everyone, meaning we, should use.

As for America, scrap the electrical college because DEAR GOD it is stupid, and scrap the nomination process too because it makes general elections last three damn years. Go with internally elected party leaders like everyone else.

A parliamentary system looks real attractive at times like this. In Canada, the PM announced elections, and six weeks later it was over.

I know this isn’t important, but I never heard who made the better cookie, Michelle Obama or Scary Vampire Woman? My bet is Scary Vampire Woman never actually made a cookie herself but if it had beer in it I might have to try it.

I couldn’t agree more. Win or lose, I am glad it is finally over. This was way too long. 4 years from now shouldn’t be as bad with only the Republican side (presumably) seeking a candidate (unless Hillary pulls a Ted Kennedy).

two thoughts:
1) Public campaign funding is dead
2) On my way out of my building this morning, I rode down in the elevator with my friend and neighbor — a black man. I said I was going to vote. He said he had already, glowing with pride. He was so exuberant and excited, I thought, “For YOUR sake, I hope Obama wins”.

“I don’t want to hear the word “campaign,” ever again.”

Please don’t tar both sides for the ugliness; I can’t stand it when the media do this when it’s so clear which side the ugliness has come from.

Subtract Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright and “socialist” and “terrorist” and you have Obama reminding Americans what we can do when we have the collective will, and that we can, if we choose, live up to our promise.

I’ve been voting for 45 years but have never been so inspired–by Obama’s unwavering focus and thick-skinned determination. What he may teach future campaigners is that THE HIGH ROAD WINS. We have to wait and see. Madison Avenue always pays attention to winning strategies, and political operatives can’t be too much more obtuse.

I don’t want to hear the word “campaign,” ever again. It’s ugly, stinking piles of misinformation, fear, and hatred like this campaign season that makes me sincerely wish the US had a lifetime monarchy.

Which we almost had in Dubbyah, so I suppose I really don’t want that, either.

I like a good election, but two damn years? There has to be a better way.

I heard Sean Hannibal today talk about a “conservative underground”(his words) should McCain lose. Campaigning has already begun unless by underground Sean meant graveyard. Let us hope.

Here are my thoughts on the election, the awesome Obama campaign juggernaut, and the post-election outcome, summarized in movie clips.
