Pick a Winner
It seems my candidate threw in the towel. Sigh. I think it may actually have been my fault. I’m just destined to always root for the one that should win but doesn’t. What can I say, it’s lonely in the 98th percentile.
Well perhaps all is not lost. He’s certainly by far the best choice for veep, or he’d also make an excellent Secretary of State. Hell those are probably the only two jobs besides President that he hasn’t already held. Actually I had a good snicker earlier, I read someone say he needs Senate experience. Because, certainly, his experience as a CEO, Governor, Secretary of Energy, UN Ambassador, and Congressman can’t begin to compare to all the experience that Obama, Edwards, and Clinton have with … sitting in a room arguing with other Senators (failing to get anything done).
Anyway my best guess is that if Clinton takes the prize, Richardson will be veep. If Obama gets the nod, Richardson becomes Secretary of State. Hell, maybe he’ll have more chance to do good in that role anyway.
Meanwhile, where does that leave me? Well now my official favorite still in the race is Gravel. Of those the powers that be will allow likely to win, I suppose I go with Obama.
But I think if I decide to put any more money, time, or effort towards a campaign this season, I’m going with Wiggum –
“When we’re mad we’ll use our words. Then the rest of the world will play nice with us. And the only boom-booms will be in our pants.”
See? he’s still better than the Republicans.
Of course Chief Wiggam would not be a bad choice either.
