well since my reader demanded more blog posts, i have decided to comply, however insufficiently. there is a lot of schoolwork piling up around me and the stress level seems to have ramped up a notch, but it is all not so bad largely because of tuesday's overwhelming sweep of the midterm elections by the democrats. we took back the house and the senate and then rummy retired, and i have to say, it feels totally awesome.
now we just have to make sure we don't f everything up over the next two years so we can hold onto our advantage and (*fingers crossed*) take back the presidency. though on tuesday when i was doing election protection with the law democrats, many of them were so pessimistic about our chances of beating mccain in a presidential race that they were proposing we run a crazy leftist who will at least contribute positively to the national discussion and highlight some of mccain's inconsistencies. i'm not quite ready to make such a concession yet--seems like we've got more of a shot than that given how wimpy and kow-tow-y mccain has been recently, but maybe i am hopelessly naive.

seriously, the Republican party is synonymous with greed and corruption. McCain's big selling point was that he was a maverick willing to buck authority.
Except every time he's been in a situation where his ethics call for him to make a stand, he backs down. He may be a fine politician, but he's a party-line republican.
There's a lot that can happen in two years. Hillary v. McCain is the way it looks right now, but I think we'll more likely see a few less established names in the mix before it's all decided.
