state of affairs
20 Jan 2008Appropos of nothing:
Obama: The system sucks, but I’m so awesome that it’ll melt away before me.
Edwards: The system sucks, and we’re gonna have to fight like hell to destroy it.
Clinton: The system sucks, and I know how to work within it more than anyone.
I liked this summary – and, in a nutshell, it explains succinctly why I prefer Edwards. I am thinking about voting for him in the primary. I am a little tired of pissing in the wind, which unfortunately is about what a vote for Kucinich amounts to.
My read on Obama is, on the contrary: The system sucks, but the American people are capable of putting aside their petty differences to fix it, if their attention is focused on it in the right way; and I’m here to try and provide such focus.
Or something like that.
