They Love That Obama

I just grabbed an article on the web about the Clinton-Obama Youtube debate. It's the same old nonsense, but from people's bathrooms and in costume and whatnot. There was a massive string of comments at the end of this article, most of which said something to the effect of "Our guy is really smart and really talks about things, and yours is dumb and doesn't know what they're talking about."

Has any political discussion ever been any different? Nonetheless, the Obama people think they have started a revolution behind a first-term Senator from the Midwest. Last I checked, the only good thing to come out of the Midwest was hot chicks. They love him, though. All over the internet, they love Barack Obama. That's fine. Glad to see somebody loves somebody.

Do you know who votes, though? Do you know who actually shows up at the polls whether they care or not, whether they've ever looked at an internet doo-hickey? Old people. That's right, old people. With walkers and breathing apparatuses. They are the ones who determine the President of the United States. They always vote. Young people, despite rabid enthusiasm over whatever issue is the hip thing to be excited about these days, just don't get to the polls like their grandparents do.

What does this mean? The trendiest candidate won't be REALLY trendy until we see that candidate make a guest appearance on a Matlock rerun. Oh well.
