Here in California, we are being inundated with political ads. It's kind of fun to watch the Kennedy family being split into Hillary/Obama factions. Ted and Caroline et al are coming out for Obama. And RFK, Jr. is coming out for Hillary.

Both sides are appearing in television ads for their preferred candidates. Both are invoking the spirits of either JFK or RFK. Obama is being compared to JFK and touted as a president who will inspire Americans to bigger and better things. Hillary is bring compared to RFK and being touted as a president who will care about the little guy.

I'm still undecided. I kind of like Hillary, but I think she's all about the political machine. With Hillary, I think we'll get more of the same.

I think Obama is more inspirational. He's young and has vision. He is probably more like a JFK or RFK than Hillary would ever hope to be. But I'm not crazy about the fact that he's running around with some nut-job "ex gay" singer. Yeah right, can't wait to see that guy get caught in an airport restroom.

So the bottom line is there are good points and bad points to both. Here's an idea. How about a Clinton/Obama ticket in November? I think that would be unstoppable.
