The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[Strangler Lewis]

Perhaps it's more of an "ick" factor with Obama supporters than a fear factor, but yeah. There was this guy with a ponytail who stood behind Obama in a number of shots that I especially wanted to pound into the ground with a cartoon mallet.

Personally, I initially favored the dreary Bill Richardson. Then I favored Hillary, but switched to Obama when it became apparent that McCain would be the Republican candidate, and I didn't want the entire campaign to be about Bill Clinton's avoidance of Viet Nam.

This is not to say that Obama's election was not historic or not worth reflecting on. It was. For about five minutes.
