November 4th, 2008: Election Day

by Kelly

It’s finally election day! If you haven’t voted already, get out there and vote for your candidate.

Now, if you’ve been following our coverage of the election, it’s pretty obvious what we think of the Presidential candidates. However, I would like to offer our official endorsement of Barack Obama. Over this election Obama has proven himself to be a thoughtful, articulate, and steady candidate. His intelligence and capability has shown in his speeches, the way he has run his campaign and his pick of a Vice Presidential candidate.

While the polls are in Obama’s favor, don’t let that stop you from voting. Even if you aren’t in a swing state, your vote counts. There is a nervous sentiment in the air that people will rely on the positive polls figures as a sign that Obama’s win is a “sure thing.” However, as we’ve seen in the past, it ain’t over ‘til it’s over. All Obama supporters should vote, not just to be a part of this historic election, but to ensure that the right man is elected as President. We must be vigilant that shady polling practices and the Bradley effect do not take their toll on this election.

Both Harlequin and I have already cast our votes for Barack Obama. We wish him the best of luck today. For us, and many of our peers, this has been a truly historic and exciting first Presidential election.

-> Sarah Palin has done it again – she never ceases to be in the center of a not-so-flattering spotlight.  Apparently she received a prank phone call from a radio personality posing as the French President.  Below is a clip of the 6-minute phone interview.


–> I love Joe Biden – if for anything, simply for the fact that he can be so deadpan with his responses.  This interview has been all over the place, but if you haven’t seen it, watch Joe own this reporter.

–> So is voting for McCain anyways?  Apparently the GOP is struggling to understand the demise of their party.  And after the disaster of the McCain/Palin ticket, they are fighting to keep a foot in the door of the White House.

–> Sick of hearing about the Bradley effect?  Well read this article about white Americans who are really voting for Obama.

–> Here is a relatively short video piece by Time Magazine’s Joe Klein on his interview with Barack Obama. This is not only thought-provoking but really worth viewing. Watch the 3 minute video here.

–> As Dollface recently mentioned, an awesome blog that’s developed during this Presidential election is Yes We Can (Hold Babies). It’s a series of photographs of Obama with children or babies (and sometimes Michelle or Biden). Seriously, each picture on this site is cuter than the last. Highly recommended.

–>Hope you all had a great weekend – and please…

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE!!!


yours

And The Crown Goes To…

by Harlequin

I am sure there are a trillion posts about John McCain’s pick for VP. But come on, Sarah Palin is just a goldmine for words; I am excited just thinking about the state of our nation’s politics today – black guys with afros, beauty queens, and body builders! The world is a crazy place, and this election perfectly exemplifies the changing nature of our society. I don’t know much about her, but from what I have been reading there is only one thing in my mind: confusion.

Ok McCain, we know Barack Obama had to pick an old white guy to hedge his bets. Apparently you had to hedge yours by choosing a woman – one who is certainly not bad to look at, given her status as a beauty pageant contestant. She looks like a former model dressed up in executive clothes, but much less of a tight-ass than your wife Cindy McCain.

I am frustrated. Frustrated because I would love to hear a woman’s voice in the presidency, but really more frustrated because this is apparently the kind of woman we need to start off with. I admire her tenacity and her success, but then I read about her background and her stance on certain issues and I just want to send her back to Alaska. She may be a financial whiz, but then you look at her opinions on social issues. She was obviously picked because she is a woman who shares many of McCain’s viewpoints. She is a woman who is against abortion, a friend of gay people who is against gay marriage, and a mother of an 18-year-old son in the military who spends her spare time shooting rifles. McCain says she is perfect for the job, but he puts a big hole through his inexperience angle. If Obama is inexperienced, then what the hell would you call Miss Congeniality? She ain’t no Hillary, but sadly she may just have the right genitals to sway a few female voters.

So be sure to check back here for more about Sarah Palin – there is so much more to say about her, so she has won the honor of being the next bitch on the burning block!
