To many you, I am sure that has long been obvious. I’ve decided tonight however to make it official. I’ve done a little house re-dressing in honor of the political season as I am sure you have already noticed. While I typically air on the side of subtlety, I’m throwing all caution to the wind (please forgive the cliche). It’s odd to me that I am more interested in the primaries than I am MacWorld 08. Yes. Perhaps I should see a doctor.
In case you were under a rock this evening, Obama and Huckabee won in Iowa tonight. While I am still undecided on who to throw my support behind, I find myself easing in one direction. I’ve posted their victory speeches below.

Huckabee
After watching Huckabee’s speech, I hear more of the same. The same we’ve been hearing the past 7 years. With Obama, I hear echoes of Robert Kennedy, and frankly that’s what I’d rather hear.

Hey Elvis!
I was under a rock, for reasons I’ll share in private
So happy you posted the speeches so I can listen to them at my leisure. Let’s get together for lunch (really) to usher in 2008. It’ll be a radically different year for lots of us!

Hey! I’m an ASS too! LOL! I’m actually happy you posted these as I don’t ‘do’ television, so you helped me see my next President tell big business to piss off! Keep up the good work OK?

And Huckabee is just a scary right-wing BUTT!

While I am in awe of Obama’s electrifying eloquence and his inspiring sense of hope, I
still believe in Hillary Clinton as the best candidate to lead this country. Yes, this country is ready for a female president. Advisers told her that she will not top Iowa but she insisted. Lesson learned the hard way. Time to move on to the primaries. I am still oh so hopeful. Having said that, I will, at the end of the day, support the Democratic Party will nominate for 2008. God bless America!

Hi Babe,
Luv the new design, it is MOST fitting for what has been happening lately. I was also in awe with Sen. Obama’s speech but at the same time, very much undecided yet (just like Tom Hanks). Anyway, thank you for keeping me in the know with regards to the present political state of our country. xoxo
