My name is Dean. My passions are primarily things which are purely recreational and provide no real value to everyday life. I am referring, of course, to sports and video games. A hardcore supporter of Jim Leyland and Solid Snake as presidential candidates in 2008 (ok, I’m actually a Giuliani supporter turned McCain supporter…), those close to me generally hear about trivial matters like the impact of the Miguel Cabrera/Dontrelle Willis trade or how Final Fantasy 7 is overrated just because it evokes nostalgia in the hearts of gamers.
Then, just to mix it up, I’ll throw in a political jab or two. Yes, Obama is benefitting from positive press. No, Hillary isn’t really getting a fair shake from press outlets eager to bash her or her husband. Yes, Rudy Giuliani is a crazy madman for thinking that there is only one state in America, and campaigning as such.
No, John McCain’s Senate voting record will not bother him in the general election. Why? The answer is simple. His voter base will be a mix of those who are thrilled that a moderate Republican candidate is running for president (me), those who are so terrified of the two Democratic candidates that they would vote for a broom with a suit as long as it had an (R) next to it (both my parents), and those who will soon be thrilled that McCain balanced the ticket – as he inevitably will – with a “good Christian man” (everybody south of the Mason-Dixon line). None of these people will care if he changed his mind on the Bush tax cuts, and Ann Coulter will get over it.
So there’s an idea of what you’ll be getting from me. Hope to see everyone again.
