Obama vs. Clinton in Seattle
Obama handed Clinton a serious beating in Washington this Saturday. It was a bit surprising — I thought with the support from both WA senators, Clinton would do a little better. But Obama clocked Hillary in every county in Washington. Whoa.
I missed the chance to go see either one of them when they were in town last week. But luckily for me, the web is full of other people’s recordings. I caught a little bit of Hillary’s speech on NPR tonight, but I missed most of it, so I was glad to find hers as well as Obama’s on The Stranger’s Slog.
If I could vote, I’d probably go for Obama — because every time I hear him talk, I almost get shivers from the charisma in his voice. After 8 years of a fucking chimp (with apologies to actual chimps) in the office, I feel like someone like Obama will have such an impact. He will wake up this nation, if enough people listen.
But then again, after I heard some of Clinton’s speech, I couldn’t help but respect her as well. She sure is one smart and courageous woman. I hope they will both continue the good flight (while keeping it clean). And who knows? Maybe a Obama-Clinton (or vice-versa) ticket may not be such a farfetched dream.
I doubt Obama would be on a ticket with Clinton; maybe Edwards, but probably not Clinton.
Then again, I am just a chimp, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
