SUPER TUESDAY

It has been a while since my last post, I have been on the campaign trail, talking to candidates, hearing their speeches, drinking their booze, making advances on their spouses (some making advances on me...Bill). But today is the day. Do or Die. Live Free or Die Hard. Today is the day that it is likely we will have two candidates...or have four candidates, or three candidates...I never was good at math. But, I do know, who ever gets the most votes...will probably win.

Political Pig Endorsements

Republican Party: John McCain. John is hands down the right man for the job. He has the experience regarding the military and foreign issues (honestly the two biggest issues for a President, since that is really what the President has control over). Yet, McCain is not one to go the party line, just for the sake of power. He is bipartisan. He works with all parties and he is often pitted against both parties. He looks out for what is best in America. Does it suck that he says we may be in Iraq for 100 years. Yes. But, is it the truth? We have been in Korea for over 50 years. It's not like Iraq right now, but I think that's what John McCain sees...not 100 years of bombings and deaths. Still, it isn't something pleasant to think about. W got us in a real pickle, now we have to find the best way to solve the problem. While just leaving is the easiest, is it the right choice? Who knows.

Democratic Party: Barack Obama. Yes, I picked McCain for experience, and now I pick Obama, when Hillary has 182.3 years of political experience. Huh? Clinton (Hillary) has been around politics a long time, but has only held elected office for 6 years. Obama has been in a state legislature and in the Senate. So, for actual hands on experience, they are about equal. I pick Obama though for his message. America needs a uniter, not a divider. Clinton is the biggest divider since W. This is easy.

Political Pig's Prediction: Clinton and McCain will win tonight. Obama will stay in the race, Huckabee and Romney will drop out. I say this because I have spoken to 100 million likely voters and counted their votes. They promised me, they wouldn't change their minds either.
