indecision 2008, or not

So yesterday I decided to go vote in the presidential primary on super tuesday! It'll be my first time voting ^^ and I plan to leave everything blank except for the democratic candidacy vote!

I'd vote yes on prop 94-97, but i just don't think it'll actually help the California government... maybe it's better to just let the state government go bankrupt and lay off 1/2 of its employees to keep its spending in check. California has the highest GDP (and therefore the highest taxes revenue) in the nation and has the best weather with relatively few natural disasters... how can it possibly have a 38 billion dollar deficit? I mean compare to that number the 250 million per year you get from those propositions are peanuts, i say Arnold should hire Jack Walch and have him black belt the state government, or something ... But i degress.

During the past 7 years, Bush messed the country up so badly, the country will most definitely get better over the next 4 years regardless of who's in the white house. But in order to be *much* better off, the democratic candidate must win this year's presidential election. With a democratic house and senate (by a good margin, too), a democratic president is necessary for a efficient government. And the fact is democrats basically won already, with 2 superstar candidates running (and Bush helped out their campaign a great deal too =)

Up until a week ago, I was neutral between Obama and Clinton, and was not going to vote in the primary.... But yesterday i decided to go and vote for Obama on Tuesday. In addition to the accelerating momentum gathered behind him, I now believe Obama will make a better president. Obama seems like he'll be able to get more bipartisan support and be less influenced by his party or the lobbyists. Or maybe it's simply that Hillary is too forceful on her stands on military issues (what's with the attacking iran stand? US economy's gonna collapse if we continue to spend 10mil a day to attack random people) ... I mean, she's making McCain look more democrat-like than she is!

Or maybe it's just because he's endorsed by the Kennedys =)
