There's Something About Obama . . .

"I have an election-year fantasy and it goes a little like this: a young and ideologically chipper-sounding volunteer calls and asks if I like new energy for America, responsible tax cuts for ordinary Americans, health care for all, renewing American diplomacy, and so on. "Sure, I guess" I say. The volunteer then asks if they can count on me to vote for Barack Obama. I say "No way!" The stunned volunteer asks me why and I say "Because he doesn't look like the other presidents on the dollar bills.... and he has a funny name!"

That has not yet happened, but I do have my early ballot in hand and I'm ready to connect the line for the other guy. I will do this, but I believe this act is futile for two reasons: first, I live in Arizona where John McCain is from and has been reliably republican red for as long as I can remember. My vote for either guy will not change this. Second, Obama winning the presidency is almost as certain as Saddam's re-election, when he was alive to run that show of course."
