and i still haven't decided on clinton or obama...i like them both for different reasons.
actually the person that i wanted to vote for dropped out (kucinich)so now i'm still weighing my options and trying to think all of this through.
i really can't believe (or maybe i can) the amount of misogynistic and racist critique levied against both of these candidates
clinton is, perhaps, more seasoned and i do believe that her intellect exceeds that of obama's.
however, obama, in terms of rhetorical sexiness, is far better than clinton. any time
that i have heard him speak i find myself "having" hope...and maybe that's what we need.
some say that he is comparable to jfk...i find that reasonable.
some say that he won't be a good president because he is "new" and "inexperienced"
but
maybe that's what this country needs as well...fresh eyes that aren't shaded by years
of political choreography and conditioning.
both candidates seem to flip flop when it comes to lgbt issues...and issues of
difference(s) per se.
(hetero)normativity still holds sway even with the most "liberal" candidate...
also
i do feel a bit of unease with the christian undertones that both candidates seem
to resonate with...disavowing "family values" and avowing it at the same time
makes me sigh with a sadness that i know
i will probably carry with me to the grave
but i digress
i want jimmy carter
