 Having a degree in Government, indeed, having special honors in government, you'd think I'd be more interested in the election process this year.  I don't.  I'm apathetic, and annoyed.  While I don't know that Hillary Clinton is any great leader, I do agree with her on one thing, and apparently so does Robert Samuelson at Newsweek.  Saying something is change doesn't make it so.  It's OK to vote for Obama because he's a nice guy, or a great talker, or even because he is black.  But it is not a vote for change.

Okay, so my degree's in poly sci - with a master's in public administration - but I feel like I'm watching a ping pong match as I consider who to vote for in the primary. On the one hand, hope is a powerful thing. On the other, although I was too young at the time to vote, I remember that Jimmy Carter came in with hope and he bombed terribly. On the one hand, the Republicans HATE Hillary and I don't know that she can win in the general election. On the other, I think it's a shame that we are apparently more sexist than racist in this country. On both hands, we ARE sheeple. Bah.
