Random Thoughts on Last Night's New Hampshire-iffic Primary
1. John McCain has some serious neck issues.
2. While I am opposed to more than half of Barack Obama's platform, he does not drive me crazy. In fact, his speech last night (sans notes or prompter, if you didn't notice) was one of the more impressive I've seen/watched in quite some time. If we were to meet, I could likely "agree to disagree" with him and then break bread. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, could not make a sincere 9-1-1 call.
3. Despite being impressed with Mr. Obama, I would like to politely ask him -- and, now, it seems, all the other candidates -- to pick a new word. "Change" is over, to put it as mildly as I can muster. Besides, "change" ain't gonna win this election. "Dollars" are.
4. Instead of blowing more dough on his never-had-a-chance campaign, John Edwards should take some of the millions he "earned" while suing doctors and pay some folks' medical bills.
5. I don't know what it is about me and Republicans' necks, but have you ever seen Mitt Romney wearing a shirt that DIDN'T cover his entire neck? He's SO wearing that underwear.
6. I have never, nor will I ever, like anything John Cougar Mellencamp does.
7. Just like the admirable job he's done pretending to be politicians on screen, Fred Thompson is doing a nice job of pretending he wants to be President.
8. Jon Stewart's slamming of Rudy Giuliani for his excessive 9/11 referencing was more than justified.
9. Change!
10. I'm not sure, but I think I'm leaning towards Barry Goldwater.

You don't like the Coug (#6 above)? He's an Indiana boy and when I was at IU I actually met him at a restaurant...his cherry red lamborghini was sitting outside and I believe the license plate said something like "Cougar 1", to say that he probably had more than one lamborghini.
But I still love him. He's done a lot for my alma mater, and has done more for those local farmers than probably Willie Nelson.

I'd bet he's a cool guy. I was just meant that I can't stand his music. It was being played after one of the candidates finished speaking that night, and I had to immediately change the channel.
I don't know why I can't stand his stuff. I just can't.
