The Campaign Blues

Am I the only one who has lost interest in this marathon between the "historic" candidates?

When I first arrived at the party I was excited and filled with hope that we were going to see an intelligent contest between Clinton and Obama. I felt strongly that Obama was the better candidate and have been consistently supporting him financially.

But it has turned out to be like any other party that goes on too long...you lose that giddy high you started with and suddenly you look around the room and those that previously seemed like highly attractive and witty companions now look bedraggled and ordinary. The evening's accumulation of bad jokes, personal disclosures, barbs hurled at others has you thinking "do I want to go home with any of these people?"

Of course, neither is perfect. I still feel that Obama has more integrity and would be the person I want representing us on the world stage. And it wouldn't be a bad thing to have the first woman president (depending on what she does with Bill to get him out of the way).

And the worst actors at this party are the TV pundits. They need to be kicked out the door and if they won't go quietly somebody call the cops.

But this has gone too long and we all should have gone home hours ago. Nothing that has happened has changed my vote. I'm still with you, Barak. I'm just not as excited as I was when we first met.
