Campaign ‘08: I Was Wrong
Back in the fall when the presidential races began heating up, Gert and I had a discussion. She asked about who was doing what, etc. Then she asked, “Who will be running next year?” It seemed like it was ease to separate the wheat from the chaff at that point. “Clinton v. Guiliani,” I responded.
How wrong I was!
I finally had a horse in the race, except he didn’t leave the starting gate well. Guiliani had a horrible strategy that cost him. Clinton felt entitled to the nomination and fell asleep. Sure, she woke up and fought back, but it wasn’t enough.
McCain was carrying his own luggage when Gert and I had this conversation.
I am not much for handicapping races, it appears. Despite the hoopla over Obama, I keep feeling that reason will prevail and America will elect John McCain. As for me, I’ll be sitting this election out unless I find an appealing third party candidate. Or perhaps I’ll write in Fred,just for the practice. Obama and McCain are unsuitable for me. This year, it is not a matter of degree; both are wrong on too much for me to cast my ballot.
America shall reap what she sows.
