Well, too bad about the whole Obama thing, huh?
Apparently the 2008 election for President ended today when the always reliable Zogby announced that John McCain will be elected over two months from now by 5%.
This is a HUGE relief for me because I was worried I might have to spend the fall making phone calls for Barack Obama and giving money to Barack Obama and maybe even flying somewhere on election day to go door to door for Barack Obama, but now that the election is over my family and I are freed up to go on our semi-annual, cross-country, tour of cities that claim to be the "Cheese Capitol" of America.
Actually, I'll be honest with you, nothing has really changed for me, because a month ago, when many polls told me that Barack Obama would absolutely be elected three months from then by huge margins, I ALSO had no need to make phone calls for Barack Obama and give money to Barack Obama and maybe even fly somewhere on election day to go door to door for Barack Obama, because why do any of those things when the election was sewn up then for Obama as its sewn up now for McCain.
(Of course, back then, my family thought we'd spend most of October and November taking a tour of the states with the highest percentage of lichen per 1000 trees.)
In fact, this reminds me ALOT of last October when I didn't have to make phone calls for Barack Obama and give money to Barack Obama and maybe even fly somewhere on election day to go door to door for Barack Obama, because Hillary Clinton was the nominee of the Democratic party. I mean, shit, what's the point of even getting involved in the Obama campaign when everybody knows that Hillary Clinton will absolutely be debating Rudy Guliani a year from then, some guy named John McCain having flamed out so badly that it'll be a shocker if he's even still in politics when the Presidential election comes round.
(At that time last year my family had all but decided on exposing ourselves to different deadly and exotic pathogens in order to spend some quality time on election day together in the ICU!)
Oh, well.
Deep sigh.
Such a shame, really.
Then again... just more time to masturbate.
See you all in 2012!
