As a political pundit for the last eighteen years, I have seen a number of tight races. I was in Iraq in 1997 when Sadam Hussein barely pulled off the Presidential Victory with a meager 103% of the vote. Or what about wraps, when they battled pitas in the late 90's for crappy lunch supremacy? But this race between Hillary Clinton, John Mclean, and some guy who tells me to "change" is really grabbing my attention.
I think it has something to do with the fact that what happens there will personally impact my life. If Hillary wins, then she won't have time to help me paint my apartment. If Mclean wins, he won't be emotionally there when I tell him the real reason I don't like how I look in bycicle shorts. And if the other guy, who's not in a wheelchair, wins, I won't have those late night phone calls with him about what wheelchair I would save for if I was in a cheaper wheelchair.
So you see, there will be only one loser in the race...and one less shoulder for me to lean on.
