Super Sunday is over. I will never doubt Eli Manning ever again.
Onto Super Tuesday. It should be interesting to say the least. This could be the first time in a long time that, at least on the Democratic side, we don't know who the nominee is until its announced at the convention. I'm hoping for Obama. It's strange. There's not a whole lot of difference between what Hillary and Obama stand for, but there's just something about Hillary. I don't trust her. She's always reminded me of the mom from Manchurian Candidate. You get the feeling that she's had some diabolical scheme plotted for years and that the White House is her last step towards world domination. I'm sure that's not the case, but it creeps me out nonetheless. As for the Republicans, well, I'm done. Huckabee was the only candidate who seemed to show any hope that the Republican Party could change, and he's out of the race. It's between two guys who are bent on carrying on Bush's legacy, no cutting and running, don't embolden the terrorists, tax cuts for the rich, etc. The Republicans have always claimed to be the moral party, and for a while I believed them. But when you run on the platform of moral issues, you have to take into consideration things like an unjust war, or a fair government budget and taxation, or taking care of our environment, not just abortion or gay marriage. And then when the Republican Party wants Bill Clinton's head on a platter because he had an affair and lied about it (which I don't condone), but then we find out a couple of weeks ago that the Bush administration issued over 900 false statements about the Iraq situation leading up to the war, or that last year Newt Gingrich admitted that, while he was calling for Bill Clinton's impeachment he himself was having an extra-marital affair, well they've lost me. Meanwhile the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and 15 percent of Americans don't have health insurance. So if you're voting tomorrow please do your research and make sure that you vote for candidates who will make good, moral decisions and do what's right for the people of this country, not just the candidates who call America the greatest country in the world and seem like "people who would be fun to hang out with".
