McCain Loss Blamed on Palin

Alright, I’m an Obama supporter and if you’re not, you’re an athletic supporter (or at least the contents therein).  I don’t follow much media; I don’t watch TV, I don’t read any papers and I rarely listen to the radio other than NPR, but I do spend (read: waste) an inordinate amount of time online.  I’m starting to read in more than one place how they’re already blaming McCain’s possible loss to his choice of Sarah Palin.  Ugh.

Why people buy this crap is beyond me.  Sure, Sarah Palin can drag ANY candidate down with her inexperience and general cluelessness, but, hey, she’s hot and…oh, wait, I digress… OK, she’s not qualified to run for VP, but it’s kinda sickening to blame McCain’s loss solely on her.  

If McCain loses, and I truly hope he does, maybe it’s more due to his own unlikeable personality, his Bush-like programs, the fact that every time he raises his eyebrows in that “concerned for the poor people” look he gets (that, interestingly, Bush ALSO gets) I just want to smack him in the side of his Arizonian head with my old wooden skateboard or maybe it’s his waxy wife, his dumb-ass state (Arizona placed 50th) or… ugh, the list goes on and on.  Maybe, just maybe, the country’s ready for a real change from the crap we’ve been swallowing for the past 8 years.  Maybe Obama is simply a much better choice.

Of course, if/when Obama wins, history won’t remember it that way at all.  The entire Republican club will blame it all on Sarah Palin.  No one whose bright idea it was to involve her will take any responsibility nor will they stand by their choice, win or lose.  Then poor Mrs. Palin will have to accept that certain lucrative offer from Playboy and then we can all forget her and stop the 15 minute timer from beeping on her.  This silly election will be over and then we can try to steer the country straight* again.

I’ve grown so tired of watching these elections get so ugly that I just can’t wait for it to be over.  If McCain wins, life will go on; if Obama wins, living will go on.  No matter what the outcome, it will STILL be a real nice day watching Bush step down under any circumstances.

*For all you homo-phobia seekers, this was NOT a comment on gays/straight people, alright?
