First....political....post....ever - Super Tuesday

I think the smartest thing I ever heard anyone say about politics is that it is a "vehicle for change." That simple statement unlocked a whole new way of thinking for me and allowed me the opportunity to view it in a light I had never seen before. So, on to the events of last night.

I don't delve into politics much at all on here but I did watch the results of the Super Tuesday caucuses and primaries with great interest last night. I am conflicted on many fronts hence this post. On the one hand I want to see anyone but Sen. Hillary Clinton nominated on the Democratic side just so that we are not going to have another Clinton in the White House. Ever. On the other hand it seems like Sen. Obama is more on the liberal side of things than even she is so I am not sure he is such a great alternative.

On the Republican side of the house I am more inclined to support Romney and Huckabee because they are more conservative than Sen. McCain and they are former governors which means that they have executive experience. However, they would not win an election if pitted against either Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama. Sen. McCain does well against Sen. Clinton and not so well against Sen. Obama.

So what is the net of all of this? I guess if we have a chance at getting a Republican in the White House in 2009 our best bet is a race between Sen. McCain and Sen. Clinton. And now you see why politics is not my topic of choice. It just leads to confusion on my part.
