Postponed political bitching. :p
Oct. 30th, 2008 02:31 pmJohn McCain is going to be in Mentor, OH tonight. I was tempted to go to Borders tonight, but Mentor is one of those special towns where the traffic just manages to suck all the time. I entertained the thought of going for a full twelve seconds to see how small a crowd he draws, but really, my blood pressure probably needs to go down. That and I'd probably get tossed out. :p
I think I'm the only one who didn't watch the Obama informercial last night-my parents and boyfriend did. I chose a rerun of The Daily Show. As much as I'm following political news, I've already voted. I don't need any more advertising. It's too late to change my mind, and I doubt I would anyways. Stewart/Colbert 2008? Maddow/Olbermann 2008? :p The second pair. Those two are making me love them so much this year. :)
Speaking of advertising, I got a huge packet from the Geauga GOP. I doubt Geauga County has a Democratic party chapter. In any case, they wrote a letter saying their candidates are the only clear choice and to vote for them. No reasons given. Also, a list of clear choices. Once again, no reasons given for why their candidates are qualified. Fail. At first I was kinda offended, then I just wished they'd gotten the list to me sooner. I voted a couple of weeks ago, I could have used a list of people to not vote for with me. :p By comparison, the Ohio Democratic Party has sent out a few advertisements and fliers. While they don't necessarily have the room to give a big list of reasons, they do give some, plus they list a bunch of references at the bottom of the flier to back up their plans. I think the Geauga GOP thinks we're stupid...or at least hopes so. Speaking of stupid, we elect our coroners. Why the fuck is that an elected position?! I think I might've left that part of my ballot blank. I don't give a fuck about the party affiliation of the fucking coroner. I want someone who can do their damn job there.
For everyone concerned about the election coming down and Ohio screwing the country all the way over again...as it stands now, we're not the state you need to be worried about. Missouri, Indiana, and North Carolina are much more evenly split than Ohio is. Georgia. Wait. GEORGIA is now a toss-up state. That fact alone should signal the Lions winning the Superbowl next year.
I cannot wait until the next five days are over.
