Emails.
so in an effort to... basically be bombarded by emails from democratic candidates (because really, that's what i have done to myself by doing the following), i signed up for emails from both barak obama and hillary clinton's campaigns.
the similarity twixt the two is that the emails come from the respective candidates names which is supposed to make a voter feel involved. so far, i haven't felt involved. i more feel like a spectator at a bull fight insofar as i am not really excited by either the matador or the bull, but more just waiting for the part where the bull launches the matador or someone goes jumping over the railing.
i live for nuances.
i also live, regarding this post, for the titles of the emails that come from each candidate. here are some:
Barack Obama
-What happened today (where he speaks in an empty kind of way he lost the Ohio, Texas and RI primaries, but does not indicate anything but a possible delegate victory. there are words. and you read them, but they do little to inspire. the overall feeling i got from this email was that the campaign felt it needed to say something, kind of like when you are trying to get your significant other not to break up with you).
-The Math (this came later in the day and was a more "i'm pissed" email. he calls hillary "desperate" and "negative", actually barack did not "pen" this one. david plouffe did. i think that this is how this campaign will be run. because both candidates have sworn an unofficial oath not to badmouth each other, they hired people to do it for them so when it comes down to it, they can always fall by the "I never said that..." defense).
-RE: The Math (this one IS barack obama **COUGHbullshit** where he wants to "add some more notes about the campaign." he talks about how great the voters are and how much cashish his campaign has. then, for good measure... "Senator Clinton has decided to use her resources to wage a negative, throw-everything-including-the-kitchen-sink campaign." i think obama has used some of his resources to hire david plouffe to write that for him.
Hillary Clinton
in every hillary email i have received, including the bill emails, not once does she mention barack obama in a negative fashion. his name only comes up in regards to the fact that he existed and is the other person vying for the presidency.
i'm for no one right now. i am waiting and watching and could be considered by some lazy because i am engaging in very few arguments about the nuances of the democratic hopefuls. i have only a few observations but reserve my judgement for november.
