All This Election Business
It’s just gone midnight on the fifth here, I know the timing on this post is out a little. Despite the fact that I have to get up for my bus in less than 6 hours, I’m still here. And tweeting. I must be nuts.
Right now, McCain is winning by 5 Electoral College (points?), 8 to 3. Personally, I support Obama, and not because of his colour (doesn’t really concern me). One of those two men will be the most important person in the free world soon, and I think it’s better that it’s Obama. I’m not going to go into why.
The entire US Politics system just seems very complicated to me. Why they couldn’t make it nice and simple, lord only knows. What’s with this Electoral College thing? I guess I can understand why it’s done, but that doesn’t mean I like it.
Interestingly, someone called Obama666 on Twitter replied me with a slightly cryptic reply, which I can only assume to be his/her annoyance with what I said , which as far as I know, is correct, right?
It’s all fun stuff. Go Obama!
