I can see why someone wouldn't dig Obama, but I can't imagine why anybody wouldn't be filled with furious indignation at the idea that Sarah Palin should ever be in charge of anything bigger than a shopping cart.
There is no matter of any substance on which I agree with Sarah Palin, and the idea that she might finagle a term as
the fucking president really does tweak my nipples. However, it's presidential candidates I'm talking about, and not a one of them has me fired up. I had Ron Paul for awhile to keep my outlook cheery, but all he can do now is go on CNN and go "nya-nya" over the bailout bill and tell us why we should be back on the gold standard.
As for Obama, as much as I'd love to love him, I'm very much underwhelmed by the hype. I'm in my mid-twenties, yet I seem to be the only one to recall that nearly every election in our country's history that followed the office of a termed-out president featured at least one reform candidate promising change, change, change. Obama has done nothing to indicate that he's anything more than just a politician like the rest, and his choice of Biden as a running mate indicated to me that that's exactly what he is ("Yes, we kids will change the world! ...but we'd better have Mom and Dad looking over our shoulders so we don't mess anything up too bad.") At this point in the campaign, though, I feel positive that he'll win, so I'm hopeful that I'm proven wrong about him.
EDIT: I should mention that it really doesn't matter who I vote for, being that I'm a Californian.
