I'm going to entitle this "The Presidential Election of 2008 Through the Eyes of a Moderate Voter as Inspired by the Elwynn Forest Chat in World of Warcraft."
McCain would win because he's a white male. He would also win because his VP is a woman. And, he would also win because he's a Republican (and most of the old fogeys out there just love Repubs.)
However, McCain would also lose because...
... he's a white male.
... because his VP is a woman.
... and well, because those who are not old fogeys feel jaded from Bush's presidency.
That said:
Obama would win because he's a black male. He would also win because his VP isn't a filthy stinking rich guy (at least, that's what I've read.) And, he would also win because he's a Democrat (and, let's face it, there are a lot of voting college students.)
Sadly, Obama would lose because...
... he is a black male.
... his VP isn't a filthy stinking rich guy (though, this is could be wrong.)
And, well, because a lot of old fogeys don't like Democrats.
Really, seems like a win-win, win-lose, lose-win, lose-lose situation. I really do enjoy the fact that McCain has been a thorn in the Republicans' side for the last some-odd years, and finally got the nomination to do something about it.
Thing is, if he were to kick the bucket (and at 72, this is entirely possible) Palin would take office. And, well, I don't much like Palin. For my own reasons that do not pertain to anything I've written. I also feel very strongly for the separation of church and state, gun regulations, I'm pro-choice, and I think that gays should be able to get married.
I enjoy how Obama has moved a vast majority of people with his speeches and his little slogans. "A Time for Change." Yeah, I can agree with that. It sucks having to spend $4 for a gallon of gas.
But the idea that a reasonable amount of my hard-earned money is going to support people who need to stop squeezing out welfare-children doesn't sit well with me. It isn't that I don't think people should help the poor; it really isn't. It's the fact that as of right now, I humiliate myself every day by making 950-calorie drinks and serving brownies to fat slobs who can't pick up after themselves, smell like they've been stewing in their clothes for three weeks straight, and think they're superior to me because I'm doing a service for them. At the very least, I should be able to keep more of my money in order to support myself, shouldn't I?
Perhaps I'm being too narrow-minded; which is entirely possible.
Either way, I hate being a moderate. For every 1 piece of good, there's always 2 bad.
