I was discussing November 5 with a friend the other day. Think about it... What will it be like if Palin- I mean McCain- should win? Really, what will we do? Because as much as I hate to acknowledge it, it is possible.
And when I imagine that possibility, this is exactly what comes to mind:
I am fearful. I am anxious. Come November 4, I'll either be popping champagne or Xanax.
I am not trying to force my views on anyone else, but really, some of McCain's and the RNC's ads are absolutely ludicrous. Like the one that asserts "...And this crisis will be Obama's first crisis...in this chair." Cut to picture of Oval Office.
Seriously? Wouldn't it technically be McCain's first time in that chair as well?
They're both Senators, and they've been equals in facing this financial mess. McCain's veteran status in no way guarantees his ability to lead. After all, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
If it were guaranteed that he'd be alive for all four years, however, I might not be as opposed to a McCain administration. It's just that...woman. Anyone who knows me knows how much I despise Sarah Palin. She is a joke. She is a moron. Half the things that come out of her mouth make no sense. And even worse are her supporters! Everyone's seen the footage of morons rallying around her, asserting that Obama is a muslim (God forbid) and therefore a terrorist, or that nasty bitch who gets up in the camera asking "When did you first hear of Barack Obama? Huh?" and claims she's only learned of him that day.
Perhaps my true fear is that people like that will rule the country. And Palin is one of them.
Yes, I'm an "elitist." And I'm going to go eat my arugula with fingers crossed and high hopes for this nation's tomorrow.
And please vote!!! Nothing is a guarantee - you may support Obama, but it means nothing unless you use your voice. The job of a citizen is to keep his mouth open - so let's shout it from the rooftops- viva la revolucion!!! HOPE

On the bright side, that fallout shelter filled with ramen noodles, easy mac, and Tang might come in handy after all.
I am eating my arugula with you, dear. This scares the shit out of me but I have to believe it will go our way...I HAVE TO.
November 5 is my birthday...so, if I wake up to the possibility of another Republican administration, I will quite possibly refuse to get older. And then cry.
There was a time, some years ago, when I was OK with McCain. He seemed like sort of a moderate Republican back in the day. Unfortunately, there has been so much backstory come to the surface in recent months, and we've also gotten a chance to see the man's real character. And we've also seen possibly the worst campaign in history being run under his watch. I think that's pretty telling of the kind of administration he would run.
Choosing Palin without even vetting her? Who might he choose as a supreme court justice? What decisions might he make about foreign policy? What buttons will he push? The guy's a maverick all right. Maverick is synonymous with "unpredictable" and that is NOT what we want at the helm.
He scares me. A lot. Much more than Sarah Palin, actually. Because if he died and she took office, do you really think she'd be anything more than a figurehead? She wasn't smart enough to politely say "no" when those morons offered her the vice presidency... she is so far out of her league. And while McCain appears to have surrounded himself with a bunch of dolts based on the way his campaign has gone, I can't believe that there wouldn't be some people with enough brains to properly manipulate Palin should she end up in the oval office one day.
On the other hand, she goes rogue in front of reporters so often, it's possible she's too stupid even to just play along properly...
