I have not been able to post because of technical difficulties but i am back and fully fixed! I also have cable now and i have been able to watch my beloved CNN and some interesting CALI public stations. I am ruefully sad that I was remiss as a citizen and did not register in time to VOTE in the primary here- I suppose i could have filled an absentee ballot for NYC but I would have voted for Hillary and she has won that state- so no matter- It is more exciting that this is the most important primary CALI has had in 40 yrs. There have been so many memorable quotes today- here are some of my favorites:
Commenting on Winning Virginia:
This just goes to show that the American people can elect a president and not the pundits and the media conglomerates.
-Huckleberry Christ
Regarding his wife Maria Schriver voting for Democrats:
We respect each other's opinions and when we stood there at the alter we promised to be together in sickness and in health and this is her sickness.
-the Govenator
Regarding her winnings thus far:
After 7 yrs of a president listening only to special interests you ask for a president who hears your voice and your dreams....And I want to thank my mother particularly- who was born before women could vote and is watching her daughter tonight on this stage.
-mistress Clinton
I am really enjoying the fact that this race is so much about passion and people's honest emotions regarding their politics. To be perfectly honest I almost wish Huckleberry would win because then it would be the true picture of part of this country against the movement that is forming finally in the left side of life. I guess a fight between Obama and Huckleberry would be the even battle of Zealots and I think that is why Hillary has had such a hard win- she is up against a movement instead of a person. She is practically an incumbent and has real answers to real problems - yet I can not smite the OB campaign- it moves me and speaks to the feelings that I have felt for a long time- I just don't think the man equals the movement. I think he lacks a level of forethought in his actions that speaks to the arrogant vibrancy that has supercharged this campaign- it's his downfall and yet the vagueness also speaks to how hard it actually is to make change- maybe he just does not have the answers- he just knows that we need to hear upfront that EVERYTHING IS WRONG. Believe me, I wanna live in a world where any race, creed or color can be president- I just don't think he is the man to do it. I think if he were to be the VP for two terms than he would gain the respect, experience and seasonality he needs. But I almost know its going to be Edwards and Clinton and that saddens me that instead of the ticket being truly who we want ( as the close race tells them so) its going to be the marginal winner with the Christian VP to help play the politico game. Well, either way- I really do believe that change is coming in whatever it comes in. Peronally, I want the lady and Bubba. I am just a little nervous of that awful denture wearing McCain and his goofy gosh golly gee side kick: Huckleberry Hound.
"and this is her sickness"!?!?!! ha!
