Here's a shout out to my good friend Lee over at Lee The Pisky's Musings. Prayers ascending for him and his family. I don't know that a lot of people read this, but if you're here and you do, add Lee to your thoughts and prayers. And pop on over to his blog and say 'allo.

President Obama?

I've been reading up on all the political pundit websites, and it looks to me that Clinton's chances of receiving the Democratic nomination are now mathematically slim. Even if she wins Ohio and Texas, she probably won't win them with a percentage of votes that would give her the proportion of delegates she needs to clinch it. And the superdelegates are starting to line up with Obama, seemingly afraid to go against the rank and file voters(and that's probably the way it should be, for the good of the party).

Now if she happened to win the nomination, I would be happy to vote for her, and I think that she would make a fine president. That being said, when I had the chance to vote for her or Obama in the Primary...I went with Obama. I like her and all, but I didn't care for how she came into this election just assuming that she was going to have it handed to her. But her actions (along with Bill's) in South Carolina put me pretty firmly with the Obama camp. I'd expect her and Bill to get nasty with the Republicans (and would encourage them) but not with Obama, or any other Democrat. It just reminded me that, although the Clinton years were good policy-wise, they could be every bit as divisive and mudslinging as Karl Rove...just from the other side of the aisle. And I think a lot of people are just fed up with it.

I also think that Hillary is just in the wrong place at the wrong point of history. Once, she was a part of a movement that brought a young man into the national spotlight. He was savvy, charming, smooth talking, optimistic, and had a slogan of "change". He was running against the establishment, and unseated an incumbent Republican president (for which the GOP have never forgiven them).

Sixteen years later, we have almost the same situation. Unfortunately for Hillary, she's now on the other side of that movement. She's now part of the establishment, and up against what one could consider the shadow of her husband from 1992.

I'm going to try to join in on Lee and others in the pet blogging. We'll start off with our first furbaby, Stormy. This is an oldie but a goodie.
