Barack Obama’s still taking it all the way.

I dunno. I’m depressed on this front.

What I really hate is that now Barack is going to have to go negative – which you can tell just really doesn’t appeal to him, and is NOT who he is as a person – in order to keep his lead, and then it’s all going to come down to the convention anyway. I don’t see anything good coming out of relying on superdelegates, either.

I almost wish there was a way they could compromise and engineer a joint ticket, but I know neither of them wants to be VP when they feel they each has a chance at president. I just hate to see them tearing into each other for the next several months and providing help to McCain by planting negative arguments about each other in voters’ minds.

Although who the president is has little control over how evolution education / acceptance goes in the country, the potential for the election of a Democrat into the White House with an expanded Democrat control of the House/Senate could mean that universal health care can finally happen in this country. The effect of which could be remarkable in limiting the power of fundamentalism in this country, which in turn will lead to less fundies making up school boards at local and state levels, which in turn leads to better science education.

It’s a possible scenario, but we won’t see the fruit of it for …10, 20 years.

I don’t think Ron Paul is a creationist. But he doesn’t accept Evolution either. He doesn’t think either side has absolute truth.

Fair enough, but is Ron Paul still in the race?! (If so, why?)

I seem to remember the West not being sure whether to be amused or horrified when Zirinovski was threatening to come to power in Russia. Now the USA has its very own version.

P.S. No, I’m not a Ron Paul guy, just pointing out that there’s still one person who doesn’t accept evolution.

I mean, religious fundies run for office in European countries, too, but they just get laughed at. Huckabee was a real contender, until his underperformance in the primaries became clear.
