On A (Somewhat) Serious Political Note

We're finally (in my opinion) getting to the point where it's time for voters affiliated with one of the national parties to start making their decision as to whom they will support for their registered party's Presidential nomination. Starting this process way back to the beginning of this year has been an unprecendented development that I personally think is silly. But having had almost a year to evaluate candidates may have an historic effect on the outcome. Or not. It'll be interesting to see.

That being said, I feel the time is close to being right for me to endorse a candidate. I don't do so because I think anyone particularly cares or that it carries any weight with the opinion of others. I feel like I kind of need to get it out there because, once committed, I'll be "in the tank" for that candidate - until they win or concede. And I can feel free to aim criticism towards any or all the candidates without playing some kind of cutesy "oh, just see if you can guess who I'm for" game.

Steve and Robert will have their own opinions and if they each end up supporting someone different, it'll make for a lively give and take here which will hopefully remain light-hearted in spirit. I started blogging just after the last Presidential election. And while I've tried to keep from letting politics dominate my share of posts here I know I won't be able to keep myself in check for what will no doubt be another polarizing, rancorous election year.

So as soon as I can get my thoughts together, I'll share them and you can start calling me "[insert name here]'s shill". That is all.

YIPS from Steve-O: I've got no such compunctions:

ACKBAR FOR AMERICA 2008
Because isn't it about time for an asexual fish-headed space admiral dude to become president?

I'll be willing to settle for Huckabee/Ackbar.
