Hillary Supports Obama (But, Words Mean Nothing...)

PoliticsTV/YouTube

Inspiring, isn't it? Hillary Clinton rallying the troops to vote for Barack Obama for President. But I can't help but wonder if she was really simmering inside and wishing that John McCain would beat the stuffing out of the sophomore senator out of Illinois (or is it 'junior' senator?). After all, Barack didn't choose her for running mate, and her supporters- at least some of them- were so goddamned pissed off that they jumped ship to that misogynist John McCain's side (okay, maybe ol' Johnny's not a wife beater, but he sure does have a temper, doesn't he?).

I talked with a few friends today, and we speculated that perhaps Hillary could mount her own campaign for President as an independent. Hey, it could happen, I guess, and if such a scenario were to happen, then this race could really get interesting. A Clinton-McCain-Obama race (you can pretty much write off that ol' fussbudget Ralph Nader) could throw things in a tailspin.

Either way you want to looks at this, this will be one close election. Yes, in a small way, this is about race- a black man against a white one. We shouldn't even be worrying about skin color in 2008, but unfortunately we are (this race conversation is another animal for another day), but largely, it's about what direction what we want this country to go for at least the next four years.
