“Dear Hager Family,

Commander Other”

Senator Clinton posits: “I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,” she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article “that found how Sen. Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.”

commander other is not exactly representative of everyone. however, commander other is:

1. a hard-working American with two jobs (i believe you can consider by 60-80-hour work-weeks as “hard-working”)
2. a “Caucasian” of pasty-white Anglo-Saxon descent (commander other recommends the wearing of sunglasses should he remove his shirt outside on a sunny day)
3. not a college graduate (heh, despite several hundred hours of college credit, but still….)

i won’t comment directly on “broader base”, but one shouldn’t use that term when one theoretically wants to avoid gender- and age-specific innuendo, let alone when one’s “broader base” is largely comprised of one’s ability to drop $6.4M into a losing campaign and certain individuals’ collective infatuation with the idea of a female president regardless of principle.

There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is the Clinton campaign’s continued resistance to political logic as well as its continued deference to neo-conservative values and politics. commander other is a registered Independent who will proudly support the Obama campaign here in South Dakota, and who will happily spread the word of Change amongst those who live in this bastion of conservative repression.

Thanks to yesterday’s random attack by an un-named baby, Senator Obama will be the first one-eyed black man running for president.

Just something I noticed while browsing today. Today is actually the first time I noticed Yahoo Photos “beta” having an image category exclusive to Barack Obama, and then I realized that that guy didn’t look a whole lot like Hillary, either. I think the photos, after categorization, are somewhat random, but it struck me as odd that Hillary’s smug mug dominates the “Politics” category, while Barack’s winning smile isn’t to be seen in his own category, and then Hillary’s not present on her own. Just kind of weird.

At any rate, commander other’s congratulations go out to Senator Obama. Senator Clinton, with all due respect, you’re just blowing money. It’s time to stop, now.
