Vote! Oregon Primary 2008

May 16, 2008 at 1:58 pm | In Entry with a Picture, Life in General |

This year’s presidential election is shaping up to be the most exciting one I’ve seen yet, though that probably because I didn’t pay any attention to the events leading up to the party conventions during previous election, when I was still in high school. I’m currently volunteering at the Obama HQ in my city in anticipation of Oregon’s primary on May 20th, mainly entering data into an online voter database. I opted out of canvassing, since I tend to panic when someone throws me a curveball. There are weird folks in this city. One time, this stoner tried to tip me $20 for Chinese take-out, and I took the money.

I wonder why Clinton has refused to quit her campaign so far, when it’s mathematically impossible for her to win, barring some ~~Gundam~~ divine intervention. It’s like the eternal struggle between the Israelis and Palestinians, and I quote a friend on this, “Pleeease… Let this eeend… Oh, the carnage…”

My ultimate goal in volunteering at the Obama HQ is to meet either of the Democratic candidates in person and fire a Magic Missile at him or her.
