I know I shouldn’t find this funny. But I do.

I can’t believe the election is almost here. It has been such a long campaign I can’t believe anyone is still following it. So who will win? Neither McCain or Obama have the complete package – Obama has the personality to sweep people along with him and the charisma to stop them from asking what his policies are. McCain has a slightly better track record but he’s ancient and has made himself unelectable by choosing a frankly dreadful running mate. He has also had some awful advisors (some seriously misplaced comments around the financial issues and some negative tactics haven’t done him any favours)

What I find curious is that there is much talk (talk radio, newspapers etc) of people being scared of socialism and the left . If you consider that Palin  has politics that are slightly to the right of Ghengis Khan(she’s a gun carrying, moose hunting prolifer who thinks that creationism should be taught in schools) then pretty much everything is going to be further left than her. Along comes Obama and all of a sudden you’d think that he was trying to introduce communism. Honestly!

One shining ray of hope in all of this is the fact that this bumbling oaf will be out of the picture.
