The New President of Iowa is....



I can't help it. I love politics. I hate it, but I love it. I love "Hardball". I love wonks and talking heads and all these sort of people. I hate Senator Hillary Clinton. Whereas some men love and are obssessed with sports or hunting or golf, I am obessed with politics. I have come to know that I can't spend too much time obssessing because it is such a depraved subject. No good comes of it. There are no good candidates. I'll have to say I don't get why folks don't gravitate to John Edwards. Have you ever seen this guy? He looks amazing. He is an incredible speaker--I don't know if there are any better. He's been married to the same woman for a couple of decades. He loves poor people and has made that his number one cause. No other candidate has been to New Orleans more than he has. I never knew why he didn't win the nomination in 2004, but of course I never understood how Kathleen Blanco got elected. Well, I don't know if he can get it this time or not, but he intrigues me and inspires me. If you want change there is no other candidate than Obama. I took an online quiz the other day to determine which candidate I share the same views with. You know who my candidate should be? That's right, Mike Gravel. I'm not really sure who he is, but second place went to John McCain. I've been a fan of his since I read a great book called "The Nightngale's Song" by Robert Timberg about ten years ago. It detailed the lives of several graduates of the Naval Academy. Around that time I had finished my first semester of law school and not finished so high up in my class and I was proud that McCain had finished about fifth from the bottom at the Academy. I like his Mavericktude also. He's got a good shot going into New Hampshire. I don't care for Giulani. I like Obama. I like Edwards. Hillary is a oppourtunistic whore. Oh, and David Vitter is a hypocrite and should resign. I'm still waiting on my apology from him, not for patrionizing a prositute, but for condeming gay marriage in the name of family values while patronizing a prostitute. I demand an apology. But here's the thing for me: I think you need the candidate who at the end of the campaign is the same as at the beginning of the campaign whose election whoredom won't really change them and I think that candidate is McCain. So, if you want to know who Chuck Norris' candidate is (and undoubtedly my grandfather who loves Walker Texas Ranger does) here's his candidate:

I didn't even re-read this ramble once. I bet it shows.
