This is America

Every morning, I get out of the subway at the same stop. There are two ways to exit the station. One is the very wide stairwell that can easily accomadate four people or more in a row at a time, and the other is the narrow escalator, which accomodates about one person at a time.
I will give you one guess which one there is a LINE for every morning. Because, you know, walking up a flight of stairs is so unhealthy.

I was sad to see Edwards drop out of the race this afternoon. While not my primary choice, I was hoping he would hold out to split the Democratic vote a little more, then give his delegates to Obama.
Because I just don't want a President Hillary. Barack isn't so great either, but he is the lesser evil. I'm seeing an Obama-Edwards ticket.
I just wish Ron Paul could be taken seriously. Maybe he and Mayor Mike will run together?

What I want to know is, will the Republican nominee let Bush I or II campaign for them? Gore didn't really want Clinton's backing in '00, and it didn't work out so well for him. But Clinton left office with an approval rating higher than the 30% Dubya's got. What if they allow Sr. to campaign but not Jr.? Or will they be trying to distance themselves from the Bush dynasty?
Also, will Bill campaign for Obama if he is the nominee? Without Barack and Bill, are there any other celeb Dems to get the voters all pumped and excited like Rocky?

Also, today on Larry King Snoop Dogg said he likes both Hilary and Barack. It's nice to know he's got their back.

This election has been going on for way too long, and it needs to end. Some of the campaigns are over a year old, and we still have a ways to go...completely unacceptable.

Someone on Slate or Newsweek or somewhere wrote an article about some guy who came up with the idea of using some sort of algorithmic formula to elect a president, rather than the current, completely out-of-date and useless electoral college.
Their idea was to mirror the idea of a site like hotornot.com, where you rate your three top picks, and give them a grade of 1-5 on how much you want them to be President. For example, in my case I would give Ron Paul a 5, and Barack and Edwards a 2 or 3. Each candidates points are then added up, and the one with the most wins. Although, theoretically, with 10 candidates in the race there is the potential the winner might only wind up with 12% of the votes, while the others all fall a little under 10%. So instead you can take the top 4 candidates and do it again, and then that winner takes all.
Makes sense to me. Then you don't have any more incidents like what happened in 2000...


Also, I don't care who you are. You do not cry on the campaign trail because it is a "hard journey to the White House." There's no crying in baseball!the road to the White House. What happens when you are actually in office? Are you going to cry under the pressure from that too?
