Election Eve

Wow! After tomorrow, our great nation will have new leadership. Well, maybe, "leadership" is too strong of a word. After tomorrow, our great nation will have new leaders. Then again, maybe not. If I am too believe that McCain chose Palin as "his best running mate" (which suggests his best chance to win, no possible way this is the best second in command), then he has shown poor judgement or at least, very few smarts. What is far more likely is that she was selected by McCain's handlers. Evidence that "leaders" are not leaders, merely talking heads guided by the real power, the people behind the scenes. Which brings us to Obama. I don't even know where to start on that one.

Neither candidate is remotely eloquent. Neither candidate has explained their stance on anything without contradiction. Leaders have to have a strong sense of both person and purpose. They must be able to "sell their vision" - a vision in which they passionately believe in. Frankly, neither candidate has either - they lack the ability to sell their convictions and the character to have, and stick to, their convictions.

In this great nation, are these two people the best that we have to choose from? And to my dear mother, yes, I know, Teddy Roosevelt only had 2 years of political service, as does Palin. But, for crying out loud, are you really comparing The Original Rough Rider to Palin? Sorry mom.

Skully's Prediction: Obama wins and his handlers prevent him from doing the disaster that he could if he were left to his own devices.

"God bless America" - not a simple emotional statement... but an actual prayer. We are going to need it more than ever.

Me personally? I am still hopeful that Denny Crane will carry the day. At least we would know where we stand and exactly what he would do.
