electoral pickings

i used to be a fan of politics and elections. well, not anymore. it's not only because hillary capitulated big time or obama is the eloquent one loved by so many in hollywood. it's mostly because i've been shattered by my losing prospects. once i joined the bacolod campaign tour of the incumbent congressman early in the decade. he was good in his job in the three years he served but lost the key reelection battle owing to the mass appeal of his opponent. he was simply not as good in karaoke.

i wasn't able to vote for gloria. definitely the embassy being too far was not a proper excuse. look what gloria had done, granting executive clemency for a member of the elite who commited a random act of pure evil. that in addition to what my opinionated high school classmate enumerated in his friendster bulletin. well, the diminutive lady won the election and that was the will of the people.

i once followed the selection process for the pusa (president of usa), an election i'll never have to vote for ever but has massive repercussions to the rest of the world. but now i've lost interest.
bush lost the popular vote in 2000 but the republican justices outnumbered the democrats in the supreme court, thus allowing him to win 25 of florida's electoral votes and collaring the highest echelon of power and the launch of some unabashed failures and disasters. bush got elected again four years ago after surviving a scare in ohio. that despite obama's audacity of hope speech during the democratic convention. bush could strew his legacy in a book just like what clinton did or what blair is doing, who is now in the process of publishing his memoirs . good or bad, bush was a pusa.

i've been eluding the news channels for close to 18 months. drawing into my disciplined facade in blocking CNN, falling off the wagon was never even attempted. i haven't even heard the voice of sarah palin and even if i try without websurfing, i can't name obama's running mate. it's a fact that obama's is profused with wit. while mccain is republican. whoever wins, hopefully will not only have to perform better than bush but needs to create magic for world peace, the standout answer in every miss congeniality pageant.
