What Gives?
I seem to have developed a taste for red wine. Never liked the stuff before. At all. As recently as last April, I found reds of all kinds completely undrinkable. However, I acquired a bottle of red not long ago, and I drank a glass of it today. What in the world!
Also, what is the deal with the stalwart Evangelical Christian leaders and Ann Coulter(!) bailing on the GOP to back Hillary? Clearly, I am not one of their minions. (Though I must say I've always distrusted the bandwagon.) Hillary frightens me. Not that McCain is any better. Still, I have to wonder how in the world they came to that conclusion. Politics truly makes strange bedfellows.
Honestly, I know that plenty of people like her, and that's fine. I don't trust her. Neither do I trust McCain. That leaves Obama. I guess I'm outting myself here, because (having no tv) what little I've seen of him makes him look a heckuva lot better than the other two. But there's still eight months and change until the election. I guess I'm one of those much sought after Undecideds (though there are definite leanings).
My parents would freak out if they knew.

There's an interesting dissection of a recent Obama speech in today's WSJ (14 Feb 2008). When you take out all of the rah-rah, the content of the speech is entirely negative, much of it in a "Grapes of Wrath"-like context. The editor's point is that ... that's neither the basis for a winning campaign, nor a happy Presidency.
I'm in the Un's box with you, Spidey. Different reasons, perhaps (and definitely perhaps), but still clearly feeling purple.

I voted for Fred Thompson in the primary, even though he already dropped out. I'm going McCain in November, because even if I don't like him, at least I agree with him on a fair more number of issues, and I think he'd be better with global surprises.
And I'm not surprised about the red wine. The reverberations of love resonate wide in all kinds of unexpected ways.
spider, I researched obama on the issues which he doesn't seem to face....DO YOUR RESEARCH! This guy is FREAKING WACKED :( Extremely liberal in the worst ways and this is from a libertarian type
