There's nothing I hate more than idiotic media narratives, so I was rooting for Hillary going into tonight, and I'm so pleased and happy for her. It's just so cool to see a woman as a viable -- likely, even -- candidate FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. It will happen in my life time! It makes me so happy!
But poor Obama was also a victim of the idiotic media narrative, because even though he only lost by a very few points and a handful of votes, now he looks like a big loser. At the same time, I'm almost glad he lost because while I am like 70% sure I will be voting for him, he has been pushing all my Bitch, Please buttons lately. I can't believe that people buy into his New Politics of Change baloney. There is no New Politcs! The era of post-partisanship is not upon us! PLEASE. Unless Obama's powers of persuasion are on the Harry Potter side of magical, there is no way he's going to be able to go to the capital and pass the legislation he's talking about by being nice to the Republicans. It is basically the prettiest, emptiest promise ever, and it pisses me off.
Even so, the most important thing of all to me is WINNING, and I feel like Obama is very likeable and totally electable, and he doesn't have Hillary's baggage. He doesn't have enough experience either, but whatever. Experience is not as important as WINNING. I simply refuse to live under another Republican administration, you guys. It am all about the FOR THE WIN this time.
And, ha, it is way late and I just finished watching a mind-numbing four hours of election coverage, so if this makes no sense... it's not my fault!
