So are the rest of the candidates except for MAYBE Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel. The rest of them are playing for the same team as the Repubs. The establishment. They don't want real change. Nobody that ever does gets any media attention whatsoever, instead they get marginalized. America, the political system is rigged, phony, and designed to make you believe you actually have a choice. You don't. Ever seen that episode of The Simpsons a few years ago when they had aliens impersonate Bill Clinton and Bob Dole, and kept the real Clinton and Dole imprisoned? Then at the debate, of course long after each has gotten his party's nomination, Homer unmasks them and they say "Well it doesn't matter anyway; you have to vote for one of us". And a guy in the audience says "That's not true, we could vote for a third-party candidate". Laughing, one of the aliens says "Go ahead, throw your vote away". And sure enough, one of the two wins. 6 months later everyone is wearing rags and doing hard labor, being whipped by aliens and Marge says "I don't see why we have to build a giant laser cannon aimed at a planet I never heard of" and Homer answers "Don't blame me! I voted for Krang!". Bwaaahahaahahahhahahaa. See what point they are trying to make? Your political system is rigged. Nobody who gets the blessing of the supine corporate media and either political party's nomination is anyone who will change anything for the better. Just ask Nancy "impeachment is off the table" Pelosi or Hillary/Barack "won't say if the troops will be out by 2013 Clinton/Obama. They're fake. Obama is fake and so is Hillary.

I could even vote for that pandering Hilary if I had to. I am profoundly bothered by a couple of things though... Gore found this out, Kerry found this out. It is very difficult to run a winning campaign when the other side is willing to LIE TO PEOPLE'S FACES. I'm not talking about poll selection, or carefully worded nuance--I'm talking about bald lies. Bush & Co. just plain lied about Social Security. They just lied. The words they said were demonstrably false. Didn't matter. They again, lied, about WMD, swiftboats on the Mekong, Iraq war costs. Folks that knew more than they did said they were mistaken--but it didn't matter. Lie lie lie. There's not much rational discourse left. It's all backbiting, hate-laced, and puerile. Petulant children with limosines have taken over the capital; and we are all the worse for it. I’m still UTTERLY undecided. I could even vote for that pandering Hilary if I had to.

The careful way he speaks. His so-called bipartisan stances designed to bring along Republicans and Democrats. I've never felt this kind of leadership was useful in this day and age where Republicans have shifted the political center so far right. We need an honest progressive who respects this nation's Constitution clearly and loudly. It's why I wished Feingold could have been our nominee. It's why, right now, I favor Edwards with Dodd a close second. The real Obama has made himself known. The careful way he speaks.

If he can't pour it on over the next ten weeks, I'll conclude he wants to be president. In 2016.
