I can't help it

It's election year and I'm not working in a newsroom like last election. I'm a news junkie. I'm an election junkie. It has to come out somewhere so I can feel better, so here it goes...

I'm not an analyst, poli sci major, or anyone important enough for you to read. All I am is just another voter with a blog. Who knows if anyone will actually read this or think about anything I write. But I guess that's the fun of it all.

Some thoughts about today:

1. Soledad's back! So nice to see you again on CNN!

2. Shrillery has lost the election. She may as well pack it in and go home to Bill and join the threesome. Why? She CRIED. She SNIFFLED. On camera, on purpose, and in front of everyone! I think America is ready for a woman president, provided the woman is a tough chick who doesn't cry in front of her voters. Do you see Condoleeza cry when she has a rough day in the world of foreign relations? This isn't a pageant! Tears don't win you anything, honey.

3. It's too early to nominate the word of the year for 2008. "Change" is nice and all, but it could be usurped by the 2008 version of "flip flop" or whatever "subprime" turns out to be this year. Let's not get ahead of ourselves by jumping on the obvious here.

4. I still love Obama and I'm damn happy for him. But I still don't know who I'm voting for in November. I still have doubts about every single candidate. Well, except for McCain who I'd never vote for. Speaking of...

5. What color is Cindy McCain's face supposed to be? Anyone?

6. I still don't give a shit who Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Chuck Norris, and Oprah Winfrey want to vote for.

7. Liz Edwards looks OK.

8. Michelle Obama looks amazing.

9. Before you ask, yes, it does matter what these people look like, how they dress, and everything they do and say all year. Woot! Let the fun begin!

10. Why hasn't anyone come up with a silly spoof on an "I Heart Huckabees" t-shirt yet? I'm far too busy. You do it and let me know.

11. Romney looks kind of dorky, kind of too perky, like he's trying too hard.

12. I wonder if any of the candidates use a Mac?

OK, I'll stop now. It feels good to blog about an election!
