Well, Antigone, we seem to be of a similar age. Yeah, Lincoln Park…the ghost of Abbie Hoffman must be laughing his ass off :-) And of all the things I could say about Clinton, “racist” would be the last thing I could come up with. I’m voting against Obama because of his policies, not his color, and I’m tired of being called racist. Good thing is, like the boy who cried “wolf”, the day is coming when the race card is meaningless. We survived the 70′s and we’ll survive whatever happens tuesday. A lot of people today have no historical perspective, so they can’t tell “bad” from “real crappy”.
Though I vote repub, I am conservative first. I remember Scoop Jackson, humphrey, and other dems of conscience and reason. I’m afraid Joe Lieberman is the last of that breed.
I’m a little wary of what will happen when Obama doesn’t live up to his promises. The crowd has a way of turning on messiahs that don’t meet expectations.
