I Miss The Drama Of The Election.

Is that weird? I think I miss the passion and drama ... something about the fire in my belly during the election. And, probably because I just got off a conference call with the Obama campaign staff in Ohio. Oh the memories!

So, in honor of all the good times I had pounding pavement in Appalachia, I watched Right America, Feeling Wronged -- Some Voices From The Campaign Trail, an HBO documentary by Alexandra Pelosi (yes, daughter of the infamous House Speaker Nancy Pelosi). She followed McCain-Palin through several states and interviewed supporters from across the country. Um, I don't want to say that ALL McCain-Palin supporters are moronic, but there sure are plenty of them around.

What did I learn from McCain-Palin supporters? They often cannot spell, as evidenced from their signs and posters. They believe that Obama is Hitler or the Anti-Christ, or maybe even both. I think someone said he was the Anti-Christ like Hitler. Finally, they don't know what socialism is (nor do they know how to spell it -- see my first point) and when asked to define it, this was the best definition: "It's basically the view of Hitler, between Communism and I don't know the other word." Awesome. That's "real" America, folks.

I'm a political junkie so I loved it. Two thumbs up.
