Let me pref­ace by urg­ing you to go out and vote tomor­row, regard­less of who you sup­port. Unless you’re one of Huck’s Army, then please stay home. If you’re a devout Ron Paul sup­porter, do go, just to enter­tain the MittCains. Our entire fam­ily (me, wife, five-year-old, and 20-month-old) will be going to cau­cus here in Kansas.

That said. Won’t you con­sider caucus-voting for Barack Obama? That’s who we’ll be going to sup­port. I can’t speak for my wife, but I’m going in order to vote against Bil­lary as much as to sup­port Obama. Here’s why, in a nut­shell. I think McCain will beat her in the gen­eral elec­tion. I dis­like her brand of anything-to-win pol­i­tics (though I don’t really believe Obama is above that, the tac­tics Clin­ton has pulled out in NH and SC, and FL and MI make me think of her as Rove-like). I think the nation will not wel­come her as Pres­i­dent, I think we will remain divided, blue vs. red. And I’m tired of all of those things.

Thank you for your time.

P.S., I got the “Vote” thing here.

  1. I watched the cau­cus bosses from a dis­tance at the Iowa Cau­cus. They all seem the same only Obama is on steroids. That was the scene at a cau­cus that had huge atten­dance (accord­ing the B. Clin­ton they are unfair) . The phone lit­er­ally rang off the hook from politi­co­tape­heads before the jan 3 date. Any­way, H.Clinton isn’t that bad. Being in the mid­dle gets you elected in the pres­i­dency, B. Clin­ton as diplo­mat is what I want out of the deal.
    Well, its not the real thing any­way. Wish it was. THe gen­eral elec­tion is another deal.

  2. I used a “«” in my tran­scrip­tion and it was eaten by the borg. At least it tells you about Obama and Clin­ton on the news.

    Hey Dave, long time. I miss being in the thick of cau­cus things in Iowa. I have got­ten a lit­tle taste of the phonebank harass­ment these last few days, but still. We’ll do our civic part tomorrow.

    Sorry about the html parser chok­ing on your com­ment. I went ahead and com­mented out the part that didn’t make sense.

  4. It’s pretty cool. I was caught up in that moment in the audi­to­rium that had seat­ing for 300 and there were 500 and some turn outs. I hope we see that in Kansas as well. It was excit­ing to be a part of the process and Barack did well in the place where I poled. But it is very liberal.

    Debug­ging a “«” like prob­lem was what we did at Iowa once long ago. It made me laugh.

    Edi­to­r­ial con­trol is under rated.

    And then it will be over–the phone calls end with the caucus.

    What­ever the party decides is where my vote gen­eral goes…BO would be a good can­di­date post W.
    Hillary would be such a deserved break from embar­rass­ment of the diplo­matic side of W.

    Why not have equal and civil rights–

    Think of all the lit­tle girls in Amer­ica that will say “I am the pres­i­dent”— or maybe VP, who knows.
