Let the battle begin
According to Wikipedia (which only tells the truth), Oregon is a battleground state for the upcoming 2008 presidential election. I have finally escaped the anchor of Republicaness that is Idaho. So, yes, my vote may finally count for something. That is, if I get it in the mail on time with a 41 cent stamp. Or come November next year stamps may cost 59 and a half cents. Whatever, The Man doesn't want poor folks to vote.
Today I heard about Chuck Norris' endorsement of Mike Huckabee. Now, to avoid a swift and deadly roundhouse kick to the face, I felt I had better check out this candidate to see what he's all about. Perusing over his website... He's a Republican governor from Arkansas, blah, blah, blah, he is in favor of the Fair Tax, blah, blah, blah, Right to life, blah, blah, blah... Nothing really stands out. In speaking about education he says, "Test scores rose dramatically when I was Governor of Arkansas because of my education reforms." Did his reforms include making the tests easier so that he could say this during his future presidential campaign? Standardized tests are BS.
So, as of yet I cannot give any presidential candidates my endorsement. May God protect me from the fists of Chuck Norris.
