OBLIGATORY ELECTION POST
-Craig Ferguson
The presidential elections in the US are narrowing, it's a four-person race now. Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and North Carolina Senator John Edwards have dropped out of the race as being irrelevant. Edwards in particular has been rumored as Senator Obama's choice for Attorney General in his administration. There are a few other candidates running of course, such as Congressman Ron Paul and Governor Huckabee, but they're out of the race for all intents and purposes.
Meanwhile, Senator Clinton is trying to get the Democratic Party decision to strip delegates from Florida and Michigan reversed. These states moved their primaries forward to mean more in the elections and the Democratic Party punished them. Hillary Clinton won both states, a fact I'm sure have nothing to do with her sudden crusade to get those delegates.
McCain at present has the lead in delegates although Louisiana has a lot of delegates being sent to the upcoming GOP convention that are undecided so who knows how that will end up. Governor Romney has not enjoyed much momentum so far, and there are fears that his Mormon faith might torpedo his chances with general voters. Meanwhile, conservatives can barely conceal their seething rage at Senator McCain who seems unable to restrain himself from thumbing their eye at every opportunity.
The longer this election goes on, the less I care to be honest. I don't think conservatives can send any messages or teach the Republican party a lesson. It's obvious no political parties actually learn lessons from anyone. I just am not inclined to vote if I don't like any of the choices.
In other, better news: Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward have been married for 50 years. Congrats, guys.
