     Look around.  The American people are thirsty for real leadership and there’s not a cloud in sight and both sides of the aisle battle while the crops of the average American’s dreams are wilting and the heard of patriotic pride that once flooded our land is in danger from without and within.

     Now, listen.  Do you hear a Starbuck beating a base drum, shouting, “Chibilow, Chibilow nimbo” to the masses and promising us rain?  It seems like many are scraping their hard earned dollars togeather to pay this promiser of hope and better times for his services.

      Following his victory in the Wisconsin primary, McCain (in this analogy Mr McCain would be File) pledged, “I will fight every moment of every day in this campaign to make sure Americans are not deceived by an eloquent but empty call for change … that promises no more than a holiday from history and a return to the false promises and failed policies of a tired philosophy that trusts in government more than the people,”  Obama’s response was basically that McCain was a Washington insider who couldn’t understand the politics of hope. 

      The Democrats are also thursting for blood.  Their hatred of President George W. Bush has turned them into a pack of mad dogs.  The Republicans were taken out of control of the House and Senate on the promise that the Dems would end the war in Iraq.  The Democrats lacked the political courage to do the one thing they could, cut funding.  Bush not only continued the war but, created a ’surge’.

      Oh, that nasty Bush.  He stole the election in 2000 before they could have the ballots recounted so many times they would have been worn out.  Then, my God, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a politically left Florida Supreme Court and the tears and griping hasn’t stopped since.

      This is not entirely the fault of the Democrats.  When the Republicans ruled the roost, they overspent and ignored basic conservative principals.  Both sides battle rather than negotiate and all of the hot air in Washington has made things worse.

      Are the American people thirsty enough to buy the promises of a silk tongued ‘rain maker’?   Is the Republican right so disgusted with McCain that they will not support him and allow the most liberal Senator on the hill to be our next president?

      If we are still allowed, Pray.

Well, with the news today, it is time for me to make a decision as to where my support should go.  Initially, I was supporting Fred Thompson, but he dropped out.  So, I shifted allegiance to Mitt Romney.  Now, he’s dropped out.  Remembering my previous Presidential election year choices, I now realize that I am a serious jinx.  So, the only thing I can do now is to make the worst possible choice of whom to support.  It’s really a win-win for me.  If the new person I support is the worst choice and drops out, it’s good for everyone.  If the new candidate takes it all the way, I’m on the winning team.  Either way works well for me.

So, Senator Clinton, I hereby officially throw my entire support toward your campaign.  (Expect to be pulling out within the week.)
