Am I the only one who cried?
Posted by Kate G. in US Election 2008.
Well, I know I’m not the only one, since my partner (now my FIANCEE!) was sitting next to me, bawling her eyes out along with me.
So let me re-phrase: anyone outside of my apartment cry like a little bitch watching Obama’s 30-minute media blitz?
I don’t know what it was. The fact that I was slighty intoxicated may have aided the flow of tears. But had I been of sound mind and body at the time, I’m pretty sure the message still would have hit me hard. Maybe a tear or two would’ve squeaked out, too.

Before I begin, let me set up the assumption I’ve made about you. Stop me if I’m wrong.
Due to the fact that you’re undecided, I’ve deduced that you probably don’t make more than $250,000 a year. I can safely assume this because if you were making that much money, you would be:
A. …a registered Republican, trying to protect all of your money from the grubby hands of the lower-class (like Joe the Unlicensed Plumber, who had already donated to McCain’s campaign before that little chat with Obama), or
B. …a Democratic politician of some sort.

If we thought this race was about race when it was Clinton vs. Obama, we hadn’t seen anything yet.
At this point, it’s got to be the “black” thing that keeps anyone voting for McCain (that, or the constant comparisons to terrorists…thanks, NY absentee ballots). I can’t see any other reason why normal, middle- and lower-class Americans refuse to vote for Obama.
It can’t be the “economy” thing, since Obama’s plan would give nearly all of the awful people in McCain’s crowds a tax cut. And McCain’s brilliant “spending freeze” for everything except defense is the grossest idea I’ve ever heard; the past eight years have been a spending freeze on everything but defense!
