Have you heard about the voter who was suffering from E.D.? "Yes", he said. "I've got Electile Dysfunction....I can't get aroused by any of the candidates". I think that's so perfect and such a good description of the way I feel.
I'm not sure about any of them and as each new day goes by and Clinton and Obama dredge up more mud to sling, I get more uncertain. My question to myself is, am I being disloyal to my gender if I don't vote for Hillary? Is it wrong to vote by Gender? On the other hand, are African-American voters favoring Obama because of his skin color? It's the same conundrum, right?
Perhaps, as our local paper said today McCain's recent "senior moments" have become velcroed to everything he now says. But, not so fast, what about Hillary's moment when she claimed she dodged bullets in Bosnia....or Obama who spoke about a Life Magazine article that never actually appeared.
It's become a question of how old, old is as opposed to how black, black is; and how female, a female is. McCain looks good to me but percentage-wise at my age I'm in the lower percentile of voters who believe his age of 71 really matters even though 70 is the new 60. I couldn't run any sort of organization let alone a country, but I'm 79.
I wish they'd run a Gay individual then there'd be no question of who would get my vote because I'd know that person was more than qualified simply because of all he or she had to overcome to even be a candidate...or would "don't ask, don't tell" be an issue.
