yuck politics

I love that I'm forced to read the Times every day this semester. Pretty convenient that I'm taking this PoliSci class during the highlights of the biggest election in our history (or so they say). I feel that I am an informed voter this year and have been looking at the candidates more moderately rather than at the point-of-view of one wing or the other. I'm now very secure with how I believe our country should be allocating its time and money.

With that said, I'm really happy with the tight Democratic race. To be honest, I kept flip-flopping between Obama and Clinton in the past month, but in all reality I would be happy if either candidate was on the presidential ballot in November since their ideas are so mirrored. Although I think Obama would fair better for international relations since gender equality doesn't exactly run evenly across the board in the Middle East among other places. But I do love Clinton's determination to get things done with health care and the housing markets more than Obama's. It's really too bad that the hopeful Republican nominees didn't present more revolutionary ideas (despite that crazy Huckabee). I didn't actually read that article yet but I'm going to assume it's consistent. When you're a Republican trying to enter the office after a projected 2008 $3.1 trillion budget and a $9 billion deficit, you can't really sit too comfy in your conservative tactics (or Iraq for that matter) when people are craving change. McCain's "more of the same" won't cut it in November. Too bad para mis elefantes.

My baby kitty just had a 2-minute seizure last night. That was the scariest thing I've seen in awhile. Prayer that everything goes okay for her?
