DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

Aug 07, 2007 22:16


I GOT TO GO TO THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE TODAY.

It was amazing.  Quite possibly the coolest thing that has happened to me, like, ever.  Right up there next to seeing a Yamapi lookalike on the train, but perhaps even cooler than that.

I shook hands with Joe Biden!  And I was 5 feet away from Barack Obama!  I have campaign signs for Obama, Edwards, and Kucinich now.  I was going to get a Hillary, but she didn't have extra signs and was charging for the other paraphernalia.  I also kind of wanted a Biden, but I don't think he had any...

I was there in the live audience watching the person who will hopefully be the future President of the United States!!!  It was crazy exciting after an otherwise really boring day.

I don't know what I came out of it with, though.  I started out like 80% Obama-20% Clinton and then shifted to more like 60% Obama-40% Clinton and now it's kind of more like 40% Obama-20% Clinton-20% Edwards-20% Confused.  Although, the thing that probably hasn't changed is that in a world more ideologically aligned to where I am, I would be like 70% for Kucinich. 

internship, super amazing, summer, politics
