Yeah, What He Said

Since cavorting with Team Blogger at CBCs Test The Nation a few weeks back, I have added most of the team to my roll and have been impressed with the Canadian blogosphere.

Today Mighty God King tackles Super Tuesday, and I’m buying what he’s selling.

As a candidate, however, Hillary Clinton is, bluntly, terrible. It doesn’t matter how intelligent and capable and even charming she is; she comes into the presidential election with slightly less than half of the electorate utterly unwilling to vote for her. [source]

Hillary was on Letterman last night, and while she was my girl, I couldnt watch. Fake smiles, speaking in cliches, she reminded me of Chretien. A political pro. So caught up in her own campaign bullshit she can’t see what’s really going on. She’s lost. She has no charisma, just talking points.

Then there’s Obama. I’ve long lamented style over substance, but as MGK puts it, this style is starting to get some consistency.

the overwhelming feeling of all us foreigners towards America right now as regards Obama can most accurately be described as jealousy. Great statesmen are rarities in any nation… every so often a nation gets a truly amazing leader, someone all the other countries look at and wonder “why can’t our leaders be like that” – a Churchill, a de Gaulle, a Trudeau, a Mandela. [source]

If you didnt see the remix Will.I.Am did of Barack’s speech in Iowa, watch it now.

Yes, Canada’s flag may be red and white, but today you can colour us green – with envy.

    There is nothing about how Hillary Clinton presents herself, expresses herself, defends herself or positions herself that gives me any confidence in how she'd lead a country out of the desert.

    I'd go for Obama policy-wise and platform-wise -- AND because he shows the strength of conviction it will take to take on the machine.

    Hillary is just one more cog.
